Re: Yam carving
Carved a face on a sweet potato last summer. I kind of exagerated the features. I put it on a paper plate on the dash of my pickup truck. With the sun and the heat beating down on it , it resembled a dried up root with a face on it after a month. It also kept rolling off the dash. I didn't coat it with anything and it started to rot and had to trash it.

Re: Yam carving
I forgot to tell you that I used uncooked blackeye peas or beans for the eyes .Just push them in the eye sockets.IT makes the carving look more believable. just push them in just enough to hold in place while drying.Position the black spots the same on both eyes.

Re: Yam carving
I saw a lady at a show two weeks ago who was carving yams. She said to wash it well after carving to remove bacteria or it will spoil. She put a hole in the back large enough to hold a pencil sized dowel rod and suspended it for drying. She then painted it with acrylics and sealed with satin polyurethane. Some she antiqued with stain varnish. I thought they were pretty unusual, but I am going to try it. I guess you just have to give a yam!

Reply to Who has Been Vaccinated ?by meflickI’m too young yet
don’t meet other guidelines. We are still 75 and over or health care workers I believe. My husband is in health care, so he has now gotten both of his shots. At this rate, I figure I will be doing good if I get sometime this summer.
Glad hubby got his, figure he was my biggest...

Reply to Who has Been Vaccinated ?by will8989Our appt is next week, I think. We are going to another county as ours doesn’t have enough. So they say. First one was cancelled for 2/1 as they had to make sure they had enough for the 2nd shot. Applied the next day and got the same appointment they cancelled. Go figure.
