[project update] Swan Dress + Eustace

Beading continues at a furious pace. All that is left is the fill beads around the spangles. I am falling in love with the way the spangles play with the overall design. And they are so easy to work with. Who would have thought that such a small piece of metal would be so interesting.

Eustace is almost at the stage of done enough for travel tomorrow. I have a 24" x 24" x 4" rice crispy block, 3-4 pounds of gumpaste and 3 gallons of royal icing left to make before tomorrow. I need to cover one arm, both hands and his neck, so they can dry before the road trip. Cherries are currently getting a honey mead soak for re-hydration before becoming filling. I am going to make a tasting cake, so they do not have to destroy Eustace until he need's to be. And if you want a funny story, ask me about attaching rice crispys to PVC pipe.

Force of nature

I have often been called a force of nature. So far I've gotten:

• A volcano. Spewing clothing and sugar sculptures and roasts wrapped in bacon.
  
• A tornado: you move and touch so many things in a short time. And figure you have to do some destruction before you can "build" anything

Which force would you say I am and why?
