In case you don't know already, I like to make stuff - stuff with no other purpose than to just sit there and look pretty.
Recently I've delved into the world of sculpting after a long break from all things three-dimensional. Past attempts always ended in nothing more than frustration - and a rather odd looking lump of clay. The only evidence of any past sculptures is this animated gif:
She didn't survive long after that.
I later discovered that the reason behind so much of my frustration was simply because I was using the wrong type of clay for small, detailed figures. The dancing girl was made entirely of sculpey III, which is entirely too soft for the amount of detail I was wanting to create.
I did a lot of research on what the "professional" sculptors like to use and come to find out they either use super sculpey (which is like a million times harder) or a mixture of the sculpey III and super sculpey.
So since I still had all this sculpey III sitting around I invested in a pasta maker and a box of the super sculpey and got to mixing the clay.
After it was mixed, I made this:
voila! my very first baked sculpt!
I'm just happy I finished it
In all reality I hate it, but i blame it mostly on the clay still being too soft to work with. I'm adding more super sculpey to the mix for the next project I do.
So, anyone want to commission me for a piece? Yeah, I'm still learning
but there's no harm in asking.

How about a comission for an album cover for my BAND?
Like you could sculpt something, we could photograph it, et voila - conceptual cd cover!!!
Whaddaya say?
Erm, you don't want money do you?
yeah, i am a pretty big fan of science. i looked through the course schedule and the only humanities course i was intereted woul dhave been language, but all language courses take place conveniently at the same time as my physics course, so that was ruled out. and i pretty much don't want to take social science courses. i am not a fan of social sciences. since i go to liberal arts school and those are the only three fields they offer, nat sci it is! hooray for science!
