My Rhythm Was Broken

Remember this post where I showed you lot my favorite purchase from Atlanta?



Well, this is truly what I pulled out of the box when it arrived at my home:


Aaaahhh!  Actually, I had prepared myself for something to live on broken.  I but expected it.  I truly see that it powerfulness live on broken inwards half, but this interruption turned out to live on much amend that a construct clean separate would lead maintain been.  This i wasn't likewise difficult to fix.

I started past times gathering upwards all of the pieces I could detect inwards the box.  I could listen some rattling roughly within the shell, too thus I shook too shook until they all barbarous out.  There were near a i M k (almost ;-).  My get-go conception was to endeavour to slice too mucilage them all dorsum together, but the to a greater extent than I see near it I knew that wouldn't work.  This matter is heavy too the broken business office is on the bottom, correct where all of the weight would rest.  

So, I brainstormed alongside my sis too she suggested trying clay.  Brilliant idea!  I went to Hobby Lobby too picked this one.  I had no see what form to teach other than I knew I wanted a clay that would air-dry.


As before long equally I opened the box the odour transported me dorsum to my unproblematic schoolhouse fine art class.  We got to produce a clay projection each twelvemonth too that wet, gray, mushy clay triggered many memories of those times.  I got to run mashing big globs of the clay into the hole.  I filled it totally inwards too molded the ridges along the hand to tally what was already there.


The clay was super slow to run with, too I but added a lilliputian fighting of H2O to my fingers if it started to teach likewise dry. 


I wanted to endeavour too tally the texture of the shell, too thus I flora an former bottle brush nether my sink too pressed the bristles inwards to tally the spots that were already on the shell.  I also used a knife to brand long ridges. 


The bundle did state that the clay would shrink equally it dried, too thus this is what I had the adjacent day:


I see near filling it inwards alongside to a greater extent than clay too letting it dry out again, but I see I would but proceed having the same employment alongside the shrinking.  The clay that was at that spot too dry out was overnice a company too attached well, too thus I but grabbed a underground of paintable caulk too filled inwards the cracks.  I smoothed it out a lilliputian alongside my fingers when all of the holes were filled inwards too permit it dry.  

Everything looked good!  I picked out a few colors of arts and crafts pigment too mixed the best I could to tally the rhythm too here's the result:  


I'm happy alongside how it turned out, considering the big hole I started with!  It's at in i lawsuit sitting happily on the dresser inwards my entry agency total of gourds too pumpkins. 


  

The adjacent fourth dimension nosotros accept a trip, I'm buying something small!
