Tess! Is this your first sculpture! Magnificent!! I am really impressed by how well the pipe cleaners are curled. I would also like to know if you only pushed the pip cleaners into the Styrofoam base or if glue is also used. I can't wait to see this at your house! Grandma

Is it stained glass? Or the man inside the grandfather clock? Or the lady in the campanile? Or someone coming out of an outhouse?? =) Whatever it is, it has great shapes and colors. Nice work!

I really love this valentine. You can clearly see the red heart when you put it on a multi-colored background like this. AND -- it almost looks like it was sewed on with a sewing machine like your mom does!

What a great snowman!! Is he unhappy because it is raining?? Or is there just a black cloud over his head? Did you make a snowman like this at your house or at your school this year??
Posted 3 years ago by Grandma Vance
