| | Here are the foam versions of the characters so far. I'm hoping posting it here will keep me moving in a forward motion! LOL! Paper mache is next and then the painting. My husband will add the stands on the backs so they can stand by themselves. I'll post more photos later! Blessings, Beth

| You always amaze me with your absolutely beautiful buddies that you craft. You have a real gift for making them so realistic. Can't wait to see them when you get done.

| | Why thank you Kathy!! I just came inside from a whole day of working on them and that comment did me a world of good! LOL! You might remember last year's characters from Fiesta. I still have quite a long way to go but am working steadily to get them done by July 23rd for our bible school. Here are the ones from last year: 
I am currently working on the paper mache part. I only have 2 more to go and that part is done!! Beth |

| | This is actually the 4th year I've made them. Each year seems to bring something to make the process easier or sturdier. Do you remember these from other years? Beth Serengeti Trek (2nd Year)

| | Thanks you guys! God has blessed me with a love for Art. I was an elementary school art teacher for 8 years before my kids were born. I may go back but they will have to be older when I do! Thanks for the compliments and to God be the glory! Beth |

| I remember them!  At first I thought it was just purple foam and found that odd. Then your pics from previous years came back to memory and I, too, remembered how incredibly beautiful they are! Please post a pic when you are done.

| I remember one year seeing a picture of you in your workroom with the buddies in process. I loved it because people have no clue just how much work goes into something like that.
