Super Clay!

I mean, I'm working with normal clay and all, but I have my doll lying in a Superman pose while the breast pieces are drying. I'm hoping the magnets will work out between the front and back and that I can get the joins to line up, but I've got them sculpted and drying at least.

I've been using my nephew's cat-free room to lay the doll for drying since my little heathens would find some way to either knock it down or get cat hair all over it... I'm sure he's glad when the weird headless doll isn't in his room though...

So I did the cuffs at least:

I may do the hip guards today but I've yet to plan that on card stock so I'll have to get to it.

I got some writing done at least too. So it's been a productive weekend. Can't say that about all of them.

More Doing, Less Not Doing

I know when people read my blogs, they'd rather SEE what I'm up to than just hear me talk about it. So let's start with my finished Simon Belmont!

Simon, Simon, bo Simon, fa-nana-nana-fo Fimon, mi my mo Mimon...

YAY!

I don't yet have a picture of Rienna's shoulder guards just yet, but I sculpted those this morning just to see how they turn out. I used a white air-dry modeling clay I found on Amazon for this 'trial'--which they are always 'trials' until they turn out well enough to be 'final'-- so after I give that time to dry, I'll sand it, possibly glue things that fall off (hopefully not) and then paint it to see how it goes. It's my hope that this one will work out since figuring out oven bake will be a bit of a pain. I can't exactly bake my doll so I'd probably have to attempt using foil to hold the shape... Eh, so GO, AIR-DRY! YOU CAN DO EET!

I'm about to jump over to writing for a bit, but I hopped over here to share some progress at least. You should probably go back to something else too. Even if it's just napping. Take care of yourselves, peeps!
