Hook up woes

Abel is usually the first one down to my studio after the bus drops them off from school.   There's always some new clay critter in the works to visit and his belly needs a snack asap.  Today he agreed to snap a quick pic before claiming the last Irish Cream Brownie.  It's amazing how he can keep his hair so fresh and perky all day.  He had a similar profile for his President's Day portrait silhouette.  

I am currently in gargoyle mode making down spout covers for spring showers (not the 5-8 inches of snow predicted tonight).  I have the corner window display at Handwork for the first two weeks of April.   It will be jammed full of bunnies, frogs, fish, astro turf and fake rain. Any ideas how to make fake rain...
