I have discovered in keeping an artist's journal, that there are some pages I just don't want to share with anyone. (Who really wants to see my terrible drawing about a dream of Johnny Depp as a college English tutor). But since creativity comes in all forms I will show you the project my daughter and I worked on today. Repairing Breyer horses. Some are hers and some are from my childhood. We've been playing around with this moldable plastic called InstaMorph and found it to be a lot of fun! This was one of the old horses from over 30 years ago who survived but was missing two feet and a tail. We rebuilt those parts out of plastic and glued them back on. It's a little tricky since it cools quickly, but a quick dip back in the hot water makes it pliable. Once the glue dries we'll try acrylics.
