Number 3. I worked myself with the pouring and removing from molds as it had to be the right thickness for cleaning. It took approximately 35-40 hours for the eagle, but was worth it when I entered in State Fair it took a Sweepstakes ribbon. I deliberately kept the tail feathers and head more subdued than would be normal.

I taught 5 classes a week and was very proud of my students. 35 each class. They walked away with a total of 28 ribbons variation from 1st to 8th place.

The Eggzactly Right took me a lot of time as it is freehand and I am not a natural born artist.

The Flower Bunny was a delight to work on and she has real eylashes. Had a fuzzy tail, but I took it off. Didn't look right.
