West St. First Sunday Arts Festival

After church & a picnic lunch, my friends and I headed over to West St. for the Arts Festival this past Sunday. I haven't been in a couple of years, so it was cool to check out all the new vendors. By far, my favorite was Clay Monsters. Coolest cookie jars, spoon rests & soap dishes EVER!


Naturally, I made a beeline for the clay aisle at Michael's. I picked out some oven-bake clay, and quickly decided a full 3D figure was just nuts to attempt. Instead, I grabbed a couple of small mirrors, and came up with this lil guy. I was trying to copy the eyes & nose of the green & blue guy in the 2nd pic below, and didn't quite make it. Still, he's kinda fun.
Last night, I tried to make a puffer Soapfish like pic 3 above...will post that soon!

  4. Very cool. I wasn't aware of an Art Festival on West St. in Annapolis. How long have they had this? I like the cookie jars that you made. You've got real talent.
