deMenged!

Michael de Meng's deMented toys class was fabulous! It's pretty amazing what he can teach you to do with paint. For example... 1 baby doll head + plastic dinosaur + octopus toy + other miscellaneous pieces/parts = She's not quite finished, but I'm sure you can get the idea. Here's what she looked like before paint.And really, where else is cutting off doll heads encouraged? Thanks for a really fun time Michael!

And a BIG THANKS to Ginny and John Smallenburg of Small Studio Productions for putting on the event. They made all of us in the class feel right at home!

    Very cool in a creepy de Meng kind of way. You did a great job on this. I have never taken a class with him, and it's crazy how the paint changes it so much. Glad you had fun.
    And thanks for the recent comment, & no worries on the print...I'll love it no matter when it comes. Enjoy your summertime!
