Suspense

For those of you who are wondering, I haven't given up my goal yet! :) I've realized my dandelion project was a bit ambitious and it is taking me longer than I expected...and my original plan is requiring some adjusting, so I've needed to do some problem solving. So, my one week project has become a 2+ (hopefully no more than 3-week) project. But for proof that I am working on it, here are some pictures. These are the dandelion tufts made of skewers ("stem"), paper (the frilly top part), and foam clay (the bottom seed part). I've managed to make 100 so far, but am needing to make much more. As tedious and time consuming as this project has been, I've had some wonderful moments snipping paper underneath my the yellow light of my desk lamp and listening to jazz as I let my thoughts wander. :)
