| FIND HEDGE HOG - by Randy R. |
| The rubber squeak toy “Hedge Hog” has been a comforting companion for Randy in the past several years, except for a period when it was missing, and then found. It took Randy over a dozen sessions, working with his collaborator, to create this artwork in honor of his buddy. |

| For the first two sessions a quantity of Sculpta Mold was prepared and portions scooped onto the canvas. Randy smashed down the plaster-like substance with a wooden mallet and then smoothed out the mound with his hands. |

| In the remaining sessions, Randy poured Elmer’s Glue-All on selected areas of the canvas and then shook a jar with small pieces of confetti sized construction paper over the sticky areas. After the glue had dried the excess confetti was shaken off, and the process began again. |

| Randy would often have “Hedge Hog” somewhere nearby as he worked, as you can see in the last photo. A an actual tiny image of “Hedge Hog” is hidden in the art piece, hence the name "Find Hedge Hog." |
