A post from Josh

Aloka was over at Josh's tonight, and he just emailed me and others these photos. I'm including his captions. "Old Flint Gnome" is a character from a story he made up (a great story actually, I'll have to post it sometime!) His post is below:

Friends & Family,

Aloka has been curious about death and what happens to our bodies lately.
Tonight she was asking about our bones, so I was explaining to her and decided to turn it into a project.
We made a mostly correct gnome skeleton out of Sculpey and baked the "bones" in the oven.
When they were done, we strung it up with wire and talked about the parts and how they work and move.
She is so smart and fun, so curious to learn...




Finally, an X-Ray of our little buddy...guess old flint gnome shouldn't have been such a grump!
