My sculpting materials!

[milleniumgypsy]

I've had a few questions about what I use for sculpting (it's sort of a common question), so I thought I would take a picture of what I use! xD



I often use Super Sculpey, and it's what I usually use on human sculpts. I use it on animals sometimes, but I more often use Premo on them. I have Fimo and a few shades of Sculpey III that I have for jewelry, and I often mix in a bit of Fimo for colour mixes if I don't have the right shade in Premo. :3

A note on my pony sculpt! It looks like it baked just fine! I ended up baking it a bit low yesterday so I baked it a bit longer tonight to make sure it was completely baked. Then I couldn't do too much with it otherwise until it was completely cooled. I did find the doll hair that I have though! I thought I had blonde, it's actually brown. lol I don't think that's bad, it was just surprising!

I need to paint the pony tomorrow and put in the hair!

I love watching your sculpts come together, I can't wait to see the pony painted!

Aw, thank you! :D I did a lot of the painting today, that post should be coming soon. :3 I'll hopefully be rooting hair tomorrow.

You are so clever making those square lumps turn into things that are so beautiful. I'm so excited to see your sculpture painted up.

Aw, thank you! :D I finished painting the pony today, so I should have a post with that up sometime soon! Hopefully tomorrow I'll get the hair rooted. :D

Do you have to do it one strand at a time?

[invsagoth.livejournal.com]

It's not one strand at a time, it's more like 4-5 strands. I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to root the hair most easily, but I'll have to figure it out tomorrow because I needed to get the sealer on tonight.

Time consuming work! They are definitely a labour of love.
