Maybe in other parts of the south, too.There is clay in every layer and every part of NC, no matter where you go. It's red, it's mushy, it can be dusty. But it's clay, and you can mold with it, so that's what I did. I Observed my surroundings for ideas for how to go about with my project. We have sticks and a whole lot of clay. So I used those two materials to try and make... a squirrel basket. The beginning of an odd era I put my sticks together and used some dry clay and water to make a paste. It began to look disgusting, but this is what wet, raw, ground-clay looks like. I had to Envision my next messy steps. Where would my sticks go, and how I would be able to put them together. I also had to think about how the clay would eventually dry. This is where the disgusting "Claywash" comes inI Solved Problem(s). It got dark fast, and I tried to limit my resources. I would mess up the consistency, but instead of running back and scraping up more dirt with my toddler spoon (RIP Boots) I drizzled the clay all over the ugly mass of sticks. I knew that it was going to dry. I did add some paste, though and drizzeled the entire thing in clay. To be continued...Month Later Update: It was blown away by the yard maintenance workers. All that remains of it.
