Third Time's the Charm




Resculpting the hat. I think the second one is a bit too tall, so I am in the middle of resculpting it. Pity. It was almost beautiful. I also got some air-hardening clay at the craft store today, and I was going to use that for the new hat but I guess I bought myself a piece of brick. It was dry as mortar--will have to exchange that tomorrow. I also ran out of sculpey in the house so I was forced to use the sculpey mold maker (hate that stuff--it's such a bear to work with)...but what to do in times of desperation? I molded the main shape of the hat over the soldier ape's head, and then I wrapped the body and face of the ape in tin foil, held him by his feet and I toasted his head like a marshmallow. I did take a couple of before photos, but I was worried about roasting my plastic piece and forever melting it. I tried to pry off the head prior to toasting but it wouldn't give so I went with the path of least resistance.
