But, somebody's gotta do it, right?! :) Today, JP snapped some photos of me mixing up a batch of papier mache. Let me tell you, it's sticky, gooey, and dusty all at once! Mixing this stuff is certainly not the most glamorous step, but it is indeed necessary if I want to sculpt anything. Lucky for me, JP recently upgraded my messy-zone and added a nice fan for ventilation so I'm not inhaling that dusty powder. Ahhhh...... Anyway, we were having fun taking pictures of the process, and I was hoping to get a little sympathy from you!....hehe! Enjoy the peek at a day in the life of a papier mache folk artist......

* See how my left hand stays dry as it adds powder to the bowl, while my right hand gets wet while mixing the batch.....
* Watch out!... Frenzied folk artist on the loose!....
* See how it fills the cracks in my skin and packs deep under my fingernails.... Lovely....
* Mix mix mix as I smile.....
* I knew those long fingers would come in handy....
