What in the world is this? You should be thinking that thought when you look at the above picture.Well, it is a bird that I carved out of garden foam--you know that stuff that you soak in water and then stuff into flower pots to make an arrangement? I don't know what it is officially called, but I do know that it is super easy to use for carved projects. Of course, it's easy pliability can be a problem, too. As soon as you are done carving your little object, you'll need to coat the the sculpture with a bunch of layers of sealant. I used modge-podge but I think you could use rubber cement if you wanted to.
The picture above is the little birdy all carved and covered in a coat of glue. He's being held up by a toothpick stuck into another brick of plant foam.
Tune in for updates on this project! Pretty soon he should look a lot more like a precious birdy! He'll even be perched on a log!
Sue and her cronies call it "Oasis"...I'm not sure if it's a brand name that has turned into a general term (Kleenex, Xerox, etc.) but that's what these ladies call it.
