It is taking so long to dry in the garage compared to inside our home . At the same time I'll try to never go back.

Wendy, have you ever considered a dehumidifier? The cost and investment might not be worth it to you. We got one 17 years ago (or thereabouts) for boring reasons I won't go into, but we've found it useful ever since. I'm currently repairing/refurbishing our redwood deck that the previous owners never took care of. It's been damp and cold here, making the wood soggy and unsuitable for sanding or coating with weather sealant. I've been stacking the salvaged boards in the garage with a small space heater and dehumidifier running, and inside of two days they're bone dry and ready to work.

I don't know enough about sculpting clay to know if this would be helpful, harmful or irrelevant, but it's a thought.

I love the detail of your velvet ferns. You really have some great artistic talent!
