My newspaper elf attempt...

Here is my newest creation....mind you I am still working on it as it is not sealed yet.  This sure has taken me alot of time and over a month into it.  It is my elf made from newspapers.  Yes, you heard me correctly.  I made a base out of some wood and dowels and then formed my elf with newspaper.  I wanted to make a lot of elves but let me tell you it is too hard. I tried paper mache which I my own...mod podge made that too.  Then I finally used joint sealer.  Then after that on the face I made salt dough.  Let's just say I tried everything.  The wetness dropped his face downward ( my complaint.)  He is cuter then his alien start. haha...

Still looking for a job...nothing yet in the school system. I prayed for the perfect opening and well it was taken.  Oh well...something better will come along~I hope anyways.
Hope you are doing well.  We are in weightlifting season with Austen.  Baseball season with Colten.  Jaxten and Presten are doing great too.  Busy all the time....Have a terrific weekend.
smiles...Tammy
