Dough Dog

Finally i got down to experimenting with flour. A schnauzer, of course! I quite like the effects. Just mix flour and water and pre-heat the oven to 190 c and then put in for 30 minutes. No cracks, thank goodness. Beacuse i didn't use self-raising flour, the dog didn't swell. The brown ears are pretty nice.

Next i will be going into saltdough.

But first, here are the pics:

Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

If MJ's story was to be written, it would be a really thick book. I'll leave that to his Biographers. I do better with clay. Different phases of his life are represented here in Jumping Clay.

As i type, i hope he is in a better world as described here:

There's A Place In Your Heart
And I Know That It Is Love
And This Place Could Be Much
Brighter Than Tomorrow
And If You Really Try
You'll Find There's No Need To Cry
In This Place You'll Feel
There's No Hurt Or Sorrow...

A good way to see Malacca (I)

The river cruise did it for me. This family trip to Malacca is made memorable because of the cruise. Chugging down on the calm and relatively clean river on a sunny but warm day with intermittant breezes is a good way to see Malacca for me. The lack of trafic jam after Second Link was a great motivator. The shopping and the meals at Newton were good too. of course the time spent with the family topped it all up. Now for the pics:

HOPE

Did these two pieces some years ago. One is gone. The other, the smaller one, a sparrow, is still around. And the colour is still white. It is still unpainted. Somehow it represents life - still unfinished.
