Memories.
My youngest neice got the Mary part. She says she's not going to be "playing it cheesey" though... Heaven only knows what that means. Not too graphic a portrayal of a "single mum" I hope.
Could this herald a move towards papier-mâché sculpture in the New Year? :) Your turtle shell looks amazing, SO detailed, a school play to remember that’s for sure :)
It's lovely Sue - I agree with Graham, more paper mache!
Penny.
There's an aboriginal feel to this - nice work.

Wow. Cheers. I frequently try and work some aboriginal work into some of my florals and I couldn't resist with this turtle. Thank you. ;-)
