Only 4C and I'm finding it cold...and back home we had temps of -17C now that was REALLY cold. Guess I need to eat hotter food than sandwiches and cola...

Pretty clear day here with clouds coming in from all directions come evening ...that sounds a little like a weather forecaster. Ê.Ê more clouds tomorrow too.

I cleaned the house instead. :cleanup:


Very productive, I only need to clean up a 1meter by 2meter space and I'm finding that hard...

Snow can be a bugger, especially one that you cant do anything with...try making a snow sculpture with fluffy snow...it doesn't work, I was so disappointed this Christmas I really wanted to make one but the snow was bad... :shakehead:

So true! I used to make snow sculptures in the lawn as well, but I haven't in the last two years due to the lack of packing snow. Mind you, what we have outside now is perfect, but it's too late. :pout:

My only successful sculpture that turned out resembling what I set out to sculpt collapsed because I sculptured his legs in an awkward position and made them really skinny only after he collapsed I thought that perhaps he needed a base to stand straight. needless to say I threw down my spoon and knife and ran inside crying over my wasted 4 hours (since no one saw how well he turned out and even I was to busy making sure everything was proportional to appreciate it)

Yikes, hopefully you'll have better luck with the next one. The first step in sculpting is creating a solid base. :)

But knife and spoon, eh? I've always just used my hands and fingers. :beaten:

its easier with a knife and spoon, besides this way your fingers don't freeze as much :) you just have to be careful how much you cut away ....the knife can slip and cut in a curve...Ê.Ê its how my statue ended up with crooked legs and a bent back...

But if you're talking snow, then you can always add on! Mind you, when I worked with Limestone, I had hell of a time. Every hack was a risk. :shamefulcry:

Wynter <--- stuck with painting after that experience.

snowstorm warning for tmrw :grumble:

We got 10cm of snow last night (hence why I'm at home - snow day), and a massive storm is supposed to hit again during the day. It's really rare for my school board to shut down. The principal was saying that in his entire career, and we're talking 30+ years here, he's only ever experienced about 6 snow days. I'm surprised that this year alone we've about 2. And almost in the same week. :hehe: :woot:
