thank you thank you thank you lol
Its an iron frame, the heads are made from styropor foam. The whole thing gets covered in a kneading sort of plasticine which hardens, and then its all painted over with pretex (thats what we call it, it hardens out), and then I painted the details, and bronzed it lightly all over.
It was a first off for me, but I like how it turned out.
I go to an arts and crafts class every Tuesday and often try out lots of different techniques, so I will post some more things I have made.
However we are closing down for the summer now, so it will be a while before I can make anything new.

I use photobucket.com/Also have a look in the Functions section of the board, there are a couple of other options. The idea is to open an account with one of these sites and upload pictures onto them. Then you just copy and past the url or the image line into your post. It would be good to see your work as well, hopefully others will contribute too! |

(By the way, if you want to have the photo up instead of the link use the third link on photobucket and it will copy the whole picture onto here.)

But seriously (oh you were??) the things that I make are not very hard to do. As I said, this sculpture started off as a frame and you build on that. Mostly we do ceramic things that are set in a mould and once fired we paint them. We have also done other technique things and I will take some more pics to show here. |

Wonderful!!!
