I feel the same way, I may never get to a Pennsic... hand, staple,
forehead...

The easy way to a small mold of a natural object is to press such an object
into Super Sculpy, remove the object, and bake until done.
Wash the new mold, oil it and start knocking off marzipan copies in
appropriately tinted marzipan!

I just made a bowlfull of "lima beans" for a friend last weekend.  Okay, it
was Duchess Natalya de Foix' birthday, and it was her own fault for making
Rule # 4, No Lima Beans.  I made her change one of her unchangable rules.
hehehe guffaw!  NO OLWEN, I don't have photos.  They looked just like a
bowl of lima beans, pale green.  Very ordinary.  We all ate our vegs that
day like good children!
