A little time has passed since I posted my last blog. As of late I have mostly just been working. My sleep schedule is really getting messed up from those 3-11 shifts. I end up sleeping until noon most days and feel so disgusted with myself for wasting an entire morning. Has also been hard to stick to my diet when I sleep through breakfast every day. *sigh* I really just have to figure out a better schedule for myself and cut back on my sleep. They say you should try to get as much sleep as possible...but I think I might be sleeping far too much!
I have also been a bit more artsy as of late!!!! Finally getting back to my old ways, slowly but surely. The past week I have been working on making "wolf teeth" out of Super Sculpey. About two years ago I joined a sort of LARP group and my team (Purple) has chosen Norse/Viking culture. Our symbol is the wolf and I wanted to make pendants for each of my team members. So far they are turning out pretty good. I was worried that I would make them too feminine, but the guys seemed excited when I showed them some WIP pictures. You can find one below. I need to add another tooth to the other side:
The Lord of my team will have five teeth on each side of his pendant. My crappy photo here does not show it, but there is actually a tiny purple jewel embedded into each tooth. I still have a lot more teeth to do but they are so fun to shape, bake, and paint. The Super Sculpey is easy to mold, easy to bake, and no where near as messy as other types of clay. OH! The best thing of all is that it does not dry out until you bake it! Which is wonderful because it is a wee bit expensive at $14.00 per lb.
I am happy that I decided to buy some and try it out. Since I have been having a HUGE artist block with my drawing/painting, this has at least been keeping me somewhat creative. I hope that this break from my normal style will help me get back to work.
Hmm...that seems to be it for right now. Either going to go back to sculpting some "teeth" or going to paint the outline that has been sitting here for a couple weeks now teehee.
Hellos!
ReplyDeleteWaaah i hope your sleep gets better i know that feel bro.
How wonderful i was wondering what you were gonna use clay for. Their really awesome i can see why your team members like them so much.
I used to dabble in clay myself it can be fun for charm making and breaks from drawing.
Awesome stuff tho! <3
