Not so bad....

sculpting with " Sculpt-It" after all, I think I'm getting the hang of it!!! And the strength of the clay has sold me on it!!!The drying /curing time takes longer, you can't really do the sculpt as fast as you would with other air dry clays,
I let it dry for at least 3 days which is ok for me cause I can work on other things...
Here's DEMMY ( short for Demented hahaha!!?)

Flora,
he is awesome and what you start with is what amazes me. I love his nose and hair. I haven't tried that clay and it is normally too wet here and 3 days would be like 6 or 9 here.
Have a wonderful day. Thanks for the link.

I love the clown. My daughter has this terrible fear of them...don't know why, I don't ever recall scaring her with clowns or monkeys, but she is!!! LOL Usually I send her a pic just to "mess" with her...so you little clown pic is on it's way to Austin!! I know, I'm such a terrible mother!!

Marie Patterson Studio said...

That is one creepy demented clown....and I love him! What is that hair made of?

Flora said...

AHAHA!!! THAT he is!!!Hello Marie!!
He is all made from the Sargent Art's
Sculpt-It! clay. His hair is applied with one of my tools, I was going to smooth it out but decided I liked the way it looked as I put it on and kept it that way.
Blessings,Flora
