Traditionally each wedding anniversary has a material associated with it (i.e. 1st - Paper, 2nd - cotton, 25th - silver, 50th - gold) and for our 3rd year it was "leather." Well, I'm no good working with leather, but I had an idea of what I could do for this year's gift. Tommy loves baseball, and baseballs are made of leather! So I managed to sneak down to the gift shop during an Angels/Rangers game and procure an official game-used baseball. This year's are pretty sweet because it's the Angels' 50th year, so each baseball has a 50th year logo on it.
Then I set about creating a display to hold the baseball using a material I was more familiar with - Sculpey. :) The tricky part was working on it so Tommy didn't find out! I sculpted mostly at work before and after hours. Below is the finished product along with some WIP pics.
