An Old Souvenir

I'm preparing to move...again, so as always I've started to survey my belongings and evaluate what junk items I own that I'm unwilling to drag with me to my next home. This afternoon I got home from a short visit with Christy in San Diego and was digging through some things when I came across a box of modeling clay I bought in Guatemala. Because modeling clay is far more interesting than cleaning stuff out my roommate came home from work a few hours later and openly laughed at me when she saw what I had managed to accomplish this afternoon:
Because I feel that each of my pieces of art deserve individual attention I have posted separate pictures here for you to review. We begin with the little dog. In retrospect I wish that I had given him a collar, but it's too late now.
Next up is the little temple:
Here we have the girl, who is maybe my least favorite, but I made her and that means you get to look at her.
I was rather fond of this piece, my panda bear:
Next the piano:
A rose:
And my favorite, the swimming pool and hot tub:
Last but not least, I had to make the initials that I put on all my works of art. You probably didn't even know that I have works of art, but I do and maybe one of these days I'll paint something that I'm willing to post on here.
When I was done I wadded them all back up into balls of clay, and put it away. The modeling clay will definitely be making the move.

I've been saying for many months now that you need to go work at one of those high end bakeries. you could totally be the girl that makes all the cool stuff out of modeling chocolate.
