Clowin' Around

Since I haven't gotten my sewing machine back yet (although today is supposed to be the day), and can't show anything of that nature, I guess I'm going to have to go out on a limb and reveal a bit of my past.  

While I was cleaning out stuff a few weeks ago, I came across these (which I was surprised I still had).  I made tons of these clowns in all sorts of positions and sold them at craft fairs, about 25 years ago.  (Probably when lots of you were still little kids!!)  I even made a Strawberry Shortcake, which (unfortunately) I didn't save.  LOL  They averaged about 6  to 7 inches square, depending upon the position, and were relativity heavy.  I made them out of Super Sculpy on a wire armature and they were all hand painted.  I loved making these and it was so fun watching people decide which to buy..........how things change, huh?  Now, I couldn't even imagine packing up all that stuff and sitting at a fair all day.  I like sewing better!!!

I think this one is my favorite of the ones I kept.  He has a certain personality which seems to be more me.  (Check out those 80's colors though, huh?)

I think this is the best picture of all.........what a kick ass clown!!!

Have a clowin' around kind of day, my friends. Thank you for visiting my blog and I promise I'll be back to sewing soon!!!
