Sculpting challenge 129! Also ferret pictures! Which are not poodles. Also tv ramblings. n_n

[milleniumgypsy]

Tonight I put together the arm armatures for the male figure, and started sculpting the fingers onto the hands. It actually took me a while to get the arms together and with proper finger lengths, partly because my hands were getting tired because the wire I'm using is a bit stiff.

Tomorrow I'll need to finish sculpting the fingers, then I'll bake them. I hope that goes alright! After I bake the fingers I'll sculpt the rest of the hand and start sculpting the arms.

In other news, did anyone else see the story of the people in Argentina buying toy poodles... which are actually ferrets? On steriods with a floofy hairdo? o_O I feel bad for the ferrets, I mean, that can't be good for them. And once the owners realize they're not dogs what do they do with them? o_O Exactly how can you look at a ferret and think "YEAH THAT'S TOTALLY A DOG"? o_O And why exactly do the pet sellers just not just sell poodles? There is so much randomness in this story I wouldn't be surprised if it was an April fools joke or something.

I felt I needed to post some pictures of my ferts. Who look in no way like poodles. My gramma's dog when I was growing up was a very sweet toy poodle named Brandy, and she definitely did not look like a ferret. lol




In tv related ramblings, I watched the Voice tonight! I'm excited to see more of the people who've been picked. There was a girl that I really liked and I remembered today that she's on team Blake. I wish she was on another team though because I was hoping someone else would win this year! I don't have anything against Blake, he's just won the last couple of years in a row and I thought it would be cool if someone else won this year. xD I guess we'll see how stuff goes. :3

Tiiiired, time for bed.

I haven't heard that about. Those poor ferrets! And how does one mistake a ferret for a dog?! If the story is true omg! I have heard about people buying what they thought were miniture pigs that grew up to be massive pigs.

I know right?! I can't imagine thinking that a ferret is a dog. It makes no sense!

I can at least understand how someone could buy a baby pig and think that it was a mini pig, at least it's the same animal! And when we make toy breeds they do tend to keep some baby characteristics for looks, so it's still gulliable to fall for it but that makes way more sense than a ferret being thought of as a dog. o_O

I could see the pigs because it's easy for someone to mistake a miniture pig for a big one when they're babies, but a ferret for a dog?!

lol, this reminds me of my neighbor. They had gotton some "teacup" chihuahuas and were asking us if we wanted one while the breeders still had them. We have a cat and if we were going to get a dog we would get a pomeranian. Anyway, we went by their house to see their "teacup" chihuahuas and THOSE WERE NOT TEACUP CHIHAUHAUS LOL. They were puppies that were already twice the size of a teacup chihuahua.
