I guess a lot of things feel out of control in my life right now. For someone who is a control freak like me, it can mean a very bad emotional road.
One of the things that I like to do when I'm feeling all angsty is craft.
Start with a little of this.
Move on to some of this. The thing on the left is the craft project. It's a papier mache character on a base that I bought at the craft store. (a small papier mache box) Inside the body of the character is a wooden dowel and wire for the legs. Nail for the neck.
I don't usually use Fimo. Now I know why. I hate that junk. It never really softened up to the point where I like clay to be. I had to wrestle with it. It's crap. I'm not using it again. Nothing you can say will change my mind.
The whole process took me about a week of working on it after work for a few hours a night. This is the final product.

He's right dapper. Maybe all the paint, papier mache and glue will hold me together for another season.
