I adore following your projects. I know you probably don't feel this way , but to me you seem so fearless how you can just cut into your builds to change shape and adapt them as you go along. I'm always worried and anxious about making a mistake or ruining what I spent time building, but you really inspire me to be braver with my builds. I truly appreciate the videos you make and share with us all, Thank you Sharon
I love how you start with nothing. Then using simple materials create something so amazing. I have enjoyed following you since the beginning. I get so excited when I see you have a new video up. Thank you so much for all that you have shared with us over the years!!❤
I love your videos! You spark my inspiration!! I have made a pumpkin house and a trunk and mushroom gnome house and gave them away to some very appreciative children!! Now I have a new challenge, YEAH!! A suggestion that worked for me, I use aluminum trays from the dollar store for a base to build on top with thinner foil and masking tape.! It works very well... I cannot find "AluCan" here, but when a friend goes to Canada I will ask him to bring me 4 big rolls!! ( I hope he can cross the border without any trouble!) Thanks again Sharon!!
Aww yay!!!! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it.. I’m really loving this one even though it’s constantly throwing issues at me 😂😂😂 I’m learning though and that’s always awesome ❤️❤️❤️
You have inspired my current project, a large fairy house. The foil and masking tape is a fabulous way to sculpt. I found that using "garbage" (old containers and paper tubes) to bulk out areas works really well. I will be taking a crack at making paper clay today using cardboard, fingers crossed!
Hi Sharon, do you think that after building the acorn cap, drying it upside-down will help the stability of the cap? BY THE WAY, You are amazing artist!!
Tbh, I don’t know, or I should say, I haven’t had an issue big enough to notice any issues yet. I say yet because my builds always have some wonkiness to them… I’m never building hoping for a more “perfect” look. I hope that makes sense lol I’m a wonky builder so I tend to accept all the wonkiness and work with it.

You should be able to use Reynolds heavy duty foil. I like your idea of using the aluminum trays.
@@minisnmore I have used Reynold heavy duty aluminum foil and is not strong enough... (for me...)
You are incredible. I know that wonderful feeling when you get overwhelmed with ideas !!’n ❤❤❤
Hahaha you used a massage tool for texture! You are so clever!❤

Do book pages stretch and shrink like newspaper?
