Writing by Foley



My Hat
When I dive into my hat, I see...a sketch of me. I am wearing a black hat a park ranger would wear. I am  standing in a valley with overlapping hills, and the sun between. The sun is setting. I am wearing a black leather jacket, nice shoes, and a huge smile.
I thought hats were fun because there's all sorts of hats. At first, I wanted to do one of those hats with a propeller on top of it, then a baseball cap, then a visor. But then I remembered I like these hats. So I settled on it.

These are some of the hats done by 3S. We talked about head and eye shape as well as using an horizon line.

polymer clay 5

Working with polymer is a little different than the clay we used with Mr. Birch. This gets "fired" in a little oven that looks like a toaster!
