The Kitchen Table

I would like to Introduce to you Benjie

15 years ago

He is made of polymer clay, no molds used, he is 5 inches in lengh.

I haven't been here for awhile, ive been laid up with my foot, trying to avoid amputation of it. But I was so bored, so I played with my clay. He has been in the makings for about 2 weeks now.

I just had to show all of you.

Here is a link that might be useful:

Oh, he's just beautiful! I've seen dolls made like that, but didn't know they were clay. Do you fire it in a kiln? You definitely have a great talent. Hope your foot is better, hon!

I've always wanted to grow a fig tree because they're so good when they are in season. :) I'm a vegetable guy, mostly Tomato's and zuccini but the past few years I've broadened my horizons by doing some perennials, annuals, and bulbs. I do a few containers myself because they are so easy and they look great as the season goes along. I guess I'm a lot like you and I too can't really get enough. by the way I'm from S.Jersey. Here are some pics from a couple weeks ago http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f392/Dmart325/IMG_0137.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f392/Dmart325/IMG_0136a.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f392/Dmart325/IMG_0129.jpg

Would you buy a newly introduced model (AR oven)?

It's a little risky. All other things being equal, It's better to purchase major appliances 6 months to preferably a year after they first come out. Even the best manufacturers will have unforseen issues come up in new lines. That being said, if you're dealing with a quality manufacturer known for excellent customer service and they have an item that no one else has and you can't wait, it can be worth the risk. While GE probably doesn't have as good a reputation as American, The GE Profile line was very well received. Since the new GE Cafe oven was supposed to based off the Profile line and initial GW feedback was positive, I bought a GE Cafe Range on sale last December (scratch & dent) about six months after initial release. While it sat in my garage waiting to be installed, negative comments on GW came pouring in and I started sweating bullets. As it turns out I've been very happy with my GE Cafe range. I don't know if it's because I've been lucky or because they caught and corrected several of the problems just before mine was made. HTH & hope you get exactly what you want.

Sounds like the perfect medicine that this family needed. She is adorable, I am so happy for you & your household. It is too bad that the original owners are going threw hard times & I wish them well. At least you could help by offering their puppy a great home with lots of love. Terri

Thank you Mrs. C for the wonderful introduction! I have no problem bringing chocolate, cookies, or coffee to the table! LOL How about some freshly homemade, straight out of the oven chocolate chip cookies? granlan_tx - I don't like nuts either on my brownies.... female brownies are just as yummy! patti43 - since most like chocolate... I'll make my oreo balls dipped in dark chocolate! Thank you to all of the wonderful ladies who have welcomed me into the group/site so nicely!

Ladonna, your clay creations are great as always, and this one is no exception. It's adorable. Terry let us all know about this latest health problem you are facing, and I hope she let you know that everyone at Nanna's are praying that the meds work for you. Email me when you can. Will miss you at the get-together. We have a ramp now....finally.

What a beautiful creation - can we take him home?

I assume that he's a quiet, well-behaved kid?

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you all for the compliments, I love making them. I have more that I am making, and will probably put them on ebay, not sure yet. Ive never made one this small before, he was definately a challenge, but I can make several this size, and they don't take up a lot of room, like grwammyof3 stated.
Linda, I didn't know that about nanna's board. Please tell them, thank you for me. The doctor said it was gonna get worse before it gets better, and he wasnt wrong there for sure. Diabetes is definately nothing to mess with. Its been a long 3 weeks for me. Thats great, that you now have a ramp. Have fun at the get together.
