I found what I lost!

I carved this mould myself. It took me days and days and days. I have been looking for this mould for the past months and couldn't find it anywhere in the house. I'm so happy I found it back this morning...This is the result if you press a piece of clay into the mould. It looks fun doesn't it?
It's a great activity to do with children too - just pour a little bit of cast into a small container. Let it sit & dry for a while and then you can let children use nails or needles to carve out pieces out of the cast. If you press clay into it, the result is really neat! :)

  8. Love geckos...they are my friends. The first time I saw one in Mexico it made me a bit nervous. But when my bf explained that they keep the spiders away, I realized they are truly my friends LOL
