Be my Valentine

in payitforward •  5 years ago 

It's February and, I am still busy! But I am not complaining because this is my life. Anyway, I am inspired by Valentine's day and, I think that at the beginning of the month, I am imagining folks from different walks of life sending cards, notes, e mails? texts? to whoever they wanted to be their Valentine. So here is a bear mailing his card to his love.

This is supposed to be a post last night but we had a power outage so it got moved on to this moment. I am very tired from my day job and, I think I might pass out while doing this. If this is being posted and its incomplete, you folks know now why.

Let's start with the mail box. Yes. Still air clay.

Roll another piece of clay and cut it on this shape:

Get a tooth pick. Or in my case, a craft match stick.

I am so sorry folks. I do not have any picture but, I just want to show you how I got from a piece of clay into a clay heart.

Its not the complete thing but, I am not going to explain anything in detail here. I am more interested on showing you how I made the suit.

Since I wanted this to stand, I started with the legs and did these:
