I Achieved the Impossible

My sister, Aunt Astute, is getting married to her high-school-wrote-him-on-his-mission-very-first-and-only-boyfriend sweetheart in the next couple of weeks! Hurray! (Can't believe my little sister is getting MARRIED!!) I was  very excited when she got engaged because that meant wedding prep! I've offered to help many times, mostly expecting my mother to cash in on my free time, but my sister asked me to something pretty big:

MAKE the cake topper! 

Whoa!! I felt extremely honored, a little nervous, and eager to accept the challenge! Little did I know, my mother completely doubted my abilities (even though she's the biggest support and cheerleader I have for my artistic skills) and bought the requested cake topper as a back up, JUST IN CASE! HA! My own mother! Oh well. I'm pretty sure Heaven helped me from visualizing the design to purchasing materials to the actual sculpting of the figures. Here's how it went:
























Not too shabby, eh? My mom apologized for doubting me. Apparently, I achieved the impossible.

  1. That is incredible! I love designing things but find I'm too afraid to try and make some of them enter the realm of reality. Any advice for overcoming such fears? Also, what were your materials.

  2. Just try! You never know what can come out of your finger tips! Don't get discouraged if it doesn't look exactly like it did in your head; it's hard taking imagination and turning it into reality.
