DIY Foam Rock Base For Blue Footed Booby Sculpture
The blue-footed booby sculpture is finally finished! And I got to play with a hot wire tool - I have been looking for an excuse to buy one for years. It was fun - but I'll never do it inside the house again, and I made some newby mistakes. But I think the blue-footed boobies look good on their new rock. 😊
