I’ve decided to start logging one of the side effects of having so many people over here on Halloween night.
I’m open for advice on how to actually prevent and/or battle this in the future.
2010 was actually a ‘light’ year where the front yard is concerned. The weather kept some folks away, so fewer numbers and multiple paths helped the front yard damage some. Still, there is a clear depression where the path went, and it will be there in the spring, maybe into the summer.

The back yard wasn’t so lucky. The rain was unfortunate, as the path went around the side of the house, where there is a downspout.

So, first step in preparing for 2011 is reparing the 2010 damage…
Oh, and this is what results when I get bored…

What is it? Why? I don’t know. Just decided to play with the clay. I need LOTS more of this clay…
You need to be bored more often because that looks great! What kind of clay is this?
It’s modeling clay. Only my second time using it, so I’m still learning it’s particulars. Never dries, never hardens. Just sculpt, make a mold, and mush down to sculpt again. That’s 2 bricks of it there, and that sculpt probably needed 4 bricks, it’s too thin in spots, I highly down any mold will come out (but we’re trying just in case.
I need a lot more of it.
