A couple weeks ago while Mr. Rainbow was at work, I was cleaning up around the loft. While putting away the massive amount of junk that had accumulated on our bar, I found what was left of the sculpting clay that I bought to make the bee on Mrs. Emerald’s ornament. In true Rainbow fashion, I decided it was the perfect excuse for a break.

I’ve talked about a few of the amazing cake toppers that can be found on Etsy, and although I’ve already made our bird cake topper that I still fully intend to use, I decided to try my hand at making a clay bride. I needed a distraction and I figured, “why not?” Basically, I had no expectations and just wanted to see if I could do it.

As I was making my clay bride it was, to my surprise, turning out half-way decently, so I decided to continue the project. I gave her curled hair, and a dress like mine, and even a bouquet. I baked her and painted her and named her “Rainbow Bride”:

I finished Rainbow Bride and noticed that I had quite a bit of clay left. Well, I didn’t feel like cleaning again (no surprise there), so it was soon decided that Rainbow Bride could not, in fact, be a bride without a Rainbow Groom. So I made a mini Mr. Rainbow, complete with blue eyes, a cowlick (tee hee), and a shy hand in his pocket:

Mini Mr. Rainbow and Rainbow Bride (that’s my name, don’t wear it out) were all set to live very happily ever after in Clayville:

But something wasn’t right (and I still had a crap load of clay left). How can Mr. Rainbow and Rainbow Bride live happily ever after in Clayville with out their beloved fur babies? Well, they can’t, obviously. So the mini-Rainbow Bride commissioned the maxi-Rainbow Bride (i.e. me… Is this weird enough yet? I know. Tell her to stop badgering me already…) to create her sweet little puppies. So I did:

So, Rainbow Bride, Mr. Rainbow, and the Rainbow Pups all lived happily ever after in Clayville. The end.

Has procrastination ever uncovered a hidden talent of yours? Is procrastination your not so hidden talent? Since I already have our bird cake topper, what should I do with these?
