My last session of the summer, I decided to drop the pencil and paintbrush and get my hands dirty. I joined my other two colleagues in sculpting our gracious model. It's the first sculpture in clay I've done, I'm used to microwax. The silkiness and suppleness of the medium is great fun to work with. You can't get as fine as detail as you can with wax, but the building process is much more tactically enjoyable. With wax, you're working with heat, flame and tools more. Clay is kid's stuff--gettin' the hands all muddy. Unfortunately, the finished products don't stay together very well after they've dried--super fragile. This scultpure has since crumbled into a few different pieces. Oh, the evanescence of art...
