Skulls and flowers
I think the husband unit is in desperate need of an update on his operating system. Every time I try to run washthedishes.exe I get a “system busy” window. It’s really really frustrating, I’ve tried rebooting him multiple times but to no avail. Matt also needs a memory upgrade. Since he’s no longer warrantied I have no technical support.
No major problems but the files that control putting fresh batteries into the camera after he’s used it seem to be completely corrupted.
I’ve been working on making more canes. Geometric and simple flowers seem to be the most forgiving. I read yesterday that I’m not supposed to be able to use the clay brands that I have for cane work because they are too soft. I sort of figured that was the case and compensated by putting parts in the freezer between sessions.
I decided to take a bit of a risk and try for a more complex shape, and made a skull cane. I built from the teeth and bottom jaw upwards, the most difficult part seemed to be the nose holes. I think next time I’ll the jaw more substantial, but all in all I’m happy with the result. I cut off part of the cane and reduced it to make the smaller skull, and the flower was supposed to be a daisy from yesterday’s experiments but ended up looking sort of skeletal so it fits well with the skulls.
those skulls are wicked cool! have you tried threatening the husband unit with replacement for a newer model? that sometimes works with my refrigerator.
