Rain coming from the ground up...

Yes, you heard right, my friends and family from the northeast, it rains from the ground up here in good ol' Southwest, we call em sprinklers.
Cost to have  some green in your yard $$ money money money.....money! (sung by Abba?, Yeah, I had to look it up too)
Ah but I love it when I can see my roses in bloom.
So, I pay the price, not with bad weather or overcast or rain disrupting my days outside.
Today was a costly one though, this past year we had a cold spurt  that broke a zone in my yard.  I have no idea how long it was leaking  but we caught it prior to my house washing down the block.
Whew... you never know it could happen... we are on a "floating slab" as the realtor put it.  The image of that statement always conjured up in my head, my house floating away.  My husband assured me this could not happen, but does he really know?? Really?

Now, we have our rain programmed, it rains every morning at precisely ten o'clock mountain time from the ground up.
Please try not to shower at this time or you will get a very hot shock.

Back to my mosaic masks.
Plaster is a fun thing to work with, it dries quickly and can be manipulated while it dries.  Cleaning up is easy as long as you have vinegar, it easts right through the plaster.
I coated the styrofoam with plaster that I carved yesterday (which btw upon getting undressed for bed, I found I had the remnants  of styrofoam in my granny panties, and in every other unmentionable  crack and crevice unknown to man).
Too thick for a mask I decided to cut the block in two.
Now I have two masks!  (reproduction was never so easy)  I added some aluminum foil to give it better form, and coated the masks about  three times.
Then I had a creative thought to cover some tulle with the plaster and crinkle it to make it look like a bow. (I guess one of these masks is going to be a woman)
I'm thinking of using hair extensions  for her.
It worked, but I'm not sure how it'll hold glass... we'll see.
Then I coated the back of the masks with plaster and placed wire hooks into the backs for hanging.
I actually took pictures however I'm not sure how to upload them onto this site yet.

Now I will wait  to allow ample drying time, this is where I usually get in trouble, I am so impatient I mess things up by rushing the process then end up having to start all over again because it just was not dry.  So I am writing here  instead of screwing this project up.

Just so you all know today is 4/20... if you are not aware of what this means ask your kids.
The beauty of a day like 4/20 is the freedom to be one with mother earth and enjoy her bounty and herbs that she freely gives us.

The Beatles said it best when they sang...  And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make.
