At Caitlin’s suggestion, last time I was at the sculpture supply place, I picked up a clay extrusion syringe that lets me squeeze out “hair” and various other shaped noodles. I made a couple of silly characters (which also have open heads using geodes that were also salted with glow in the dark powder) with clay hair. As I often do, I temporary attached them to a piece of scrap wood with glue as I often do. I made the little one first and everything went well, but when I did the bigger one, I guess I attached it a little too well, and I couldn’t get it off the piece of scrap wood, a short section of 2×4. Thus the lemons. So I decided to drill as many 3/8″ holes through the wood, re-attached the first head, and painted the wood red. It’s now lemonade, or, more accurately, a handy storage container for the multitude of micro-files that I use for carving.
