The Final Helpers

Lee Lyon and her two daughters Chloe and Gracie offered to help build the princess sculpture months ago but the time slots available were already filled so they waited patiently for an opportunity to arise.  They had the privilege of being the first group to apply an icing layer to the bag.  They particularly enjoyed using their fingers to smooth the icing.

As the sculpture approached its final form, the icing had to be applied very carefully because there are few future layers to fix accidental oh-oh's.  My daughters Ashley McCarl-Palmer and Sondra Burrows-Wolting along with her husband Justin Wolting-Burrows stepped up to the challenge.  Knowing how much I love my creations and how important details are, they were filled with trepidation at the start but by the end it had evolved into a typical family adventure filled with chatter, laughter and goofing around.

    Thousands of potential sculptures lie within each and every uncut stone.  Sometimes the destiny is obvious when I see a stone and sometimes releasing the sculpture within is a long journey following countless hints and inspirations.
