Class with Christy Meyers

I'm taking this class from Artful Gathering. I had a few issues, not having the proper supplies, so I did the best I could. I ran out of clay, so poor thing has not arms or legs, then to top it off, Michaels stopped carrying the clay, so I have to order on line. I didn't have the correct sandpaper, so its a bit rough...do I sound like I'm making excuses? hehe. This was a great learning experience!
