Kim showed me a picture of something similar to this ages ago, and I’ve been dying to try it!

There really weren’t many options for picture taking during the process, it was mainly an exercise in shaping, shaping and reshaping.
I used a toothpick for the beak because I knew that even if I could get that shape, I would never be able to get it to the pan to cook/cure it!
These are the pieces of my hummingbird, pre paint and assembly.
This is after painting, and yes, I know it doesn’t actually resemble any real species of hummingbird lol!
After sealing. Now it just needs assembling/gluing together.
And this is my polymer clay/pinecone hummingbird ready for hanging somewhere or as a gift….. I am still undecided, but glad I finally made one!
I hung it from the string of one of my ceiling fans so it can “fly!”
Where’s the buttons ?

Seems to be – for now. Just launching myself into the 20th century and getting Skype set up, lol. Daring moment 🙂

It turns out that there is this thing called Hangouts, as I have discovered today. AND I have had my first live face to face chat with a blogging friend in Utah via this magical hanging out space which turns out to be as easy as PM’ing on face book with the added advantage of a video link. I suppose you knew all that, smarty pants! I didn’t – until today 🙂

Lol. There is some pretty cool tech out there. Hopefully you fare better than Chris! He’ll start to attempt something new then curses when he can figure it out and blames the phone or computer. It’s something to watch except I’m generally the one that has to fix whatever he has messed up 😕

It might take me a while to catch up with the latest, but once I’m shown, I can usually latch on to it. Unless it is dastardly, diabolically horrid and convolutedly tricky. Then I might struggle – just a bit – or make a huge tangled mess of it all. Hangouts, it turns out, is just a press of an icon here and there. Who cares about bad hair! You wanna see me, take me as I present. I could be having a pyjama day, or wearing my hot pink, hooded dressing gown to keep warm 🙂

It would definitely be the pj’s for me. I get started on my day and just forget to get dressed 😳. I’m lucky if I remember to brush my hair some mornings.

I have my phone and laptop set up so I can just speak and it typed for me and opened and closes programs. I’m not supposed to be on the computer right now so it’s my way to cheat!

Lol. It was a necessity if I still wanted to use the computer in some form. I would be in the looney bin from boredom if I didn’t 😲. I’m not even allowed to read 😮, and that is my addiction. It’s actually really easy to set up. I can even tell it to take pictures!

My Dr’s. I had a bad car accident about a year and a half ago, brain injury that’s taking forever to sort itself and being on the computer or watching TV or reading are big time symptom triggers. If I ever want to heal I have to comply.

I’m sorry – I didn’t mean to be flippant. I hope you heal real quick xxx

No worries. It probably did sound strange saying I wasn’t allowed on the computer. I hope the healing process speeds up too. And I mock myself all the time. So does Dillon lol.
We were out somewhere and I was goofing off and embarrassing him, as usual,. I told him to chill and that if he was too embarrassed he could just tell people I have brain damage. He deadpans me and says he’s been telling people that for years lol 😕
