Some art projects end up in the trash

I've been wanting to mess with paper mache, and of course, I don't start small, I go big or go home. This was the horse framework I made of masking tape, cardboard and aluminum foil. Looks pretty good, right?

It went to hell after this. My paper mache was way too chunky and thick and I hated how rough it was after it dried. I painted it black and looked at it for about a month and then chucked it in the trash. 

I guess I don't like to have my failures sitting around tormenting me : )

I miss Chincoteague

We were supposed to go in May for a long weekend, but the trip was cancelled because of the pandemic. We've rescheduled for September. Fingers crossed it happens.

Photos are from our trip last year.
