Last Comfrey aerial harvest of the year! Though it’s been raining light, I had to before they’re frost burnt. This time, I made a garland because lack of space. lol

WIP “ Brady”
Stage 2: sculpting, in an additive process

WIP (work-in-process) stage 1. The armature, made of wire, aluminum foil and masking tape. Posed ”sitting”.
About Brady:
“Brady was definitely a family member to us and it was a hard sudden loss we weren’t prepared for. He was the best dog and he loved nothing more than his tennis ball. We are still finding them hidden around our yard and house. He also loved going to the lake for a swim! Some of our favorite memories are going to the cottage with him and throwing his ball into the lake over and over again for him to go get. He never got tired of it and it was truly his favorite place!”

I just realized the design which garners the most “WOWs” is MY creation. 😁 2-3 minutes when there’s a line of little people. 🙂

A heavy wood pallet had been laying around because I just couldn’t get myself to burn it. My plan is to eventually use it as fencing for one of the garden plots. Until then…
