No kidding! You brush on the chaulk in a “dust” form? Do you mix it with anything to turn it into a liquid?
It sounds like you aren’t doing enough stitches in the corners. When you approch the corner stitch you will typically work 3 or more stitches into your base row therefor creating a “bend” I can post a picture if youwould like.
Here I made a starting granny square. I chained a circle, worked 16 double crochets into the circle. Worked 4 double crochets(dc). In my next stitch I did 1dc, chained 3, did 1dc all in the same stitch. I did that 4 times around and joined into my first stitchs. I have a rough square w/ 4 ch3 spaces that become the corners. If I were to do another row it would become more square shaped.
If you need more help, just let me know!!
Hmm…I may just try the glue alone for now. It would be very easy to end up with the edges not aligning correctly. I think I’ll glue, let him sit overnight and see how it is tomorrow.
Any clay/filler suggestions besides the dry wall compound? Something that doesnt shrink much when dried?
Thats funny! I love cats! My male kittie, Calvin, is a tuxedo cat(think sylvester). He is just trouble, but super sweet too! My youngest, Sophie, is afraid of dark objects on the floor. She was a stray picked up on the side of the road. Our other kittie, Alex, is very mellow now that she is an old woman. Sleeps on my pillow every night:)
I started glueing. Found some regular elmer’s white glue. The first peices were tricky, but I got it down now. All I have left to do is the 2 main body parts. Going to wait for hubby to help with the drill, I don’t know how they work. I am missing alot more then I thought, and the paint has peeled around the majority of the breaks. That is going to be a challenge. If I had done this when it first broke I think it would have been easier. Like I said, he isn’t going to be 100%, but atleast he isn’t sitting in a shoe box in the closet anymore!
Ah ha, never thought of dry wall compound. I want a glue that dries pretty quickly because I think I’m going to have hold the pieces together atleast while it sets up.
I’m also working on a knitted scarf, a huge counted crossstitch, some silver jewelry, knitted socks….now the griffin….and I have 2 kids, 3 and 5. 😆 Whats 2 more things on the plate, right?
I can understand Ski!! You lose so much detail in pictures, I was really suprised when I got to see my wolf up close. I’m really trying to contain the urge to order the dragon & griffin….
This may help you.

My cats laugh at the squirt bottle, can of coins, fingers, etc…But they have mellowed with age. Thank goodness!! My dog tho listens very well. I wonder of the squirt bottle would work on kids?? 😀
