Polymer Clay

Hey look! Christmas polar bears. :) I'm working on making some canes and beads now... pictures when they're ready!

This weekend invovled doing some Aural (Re)Habilitation homework and some studying for fluency. It also involved playing some WoW, which is becoming even more fun since all of Jason's co-workers are playing, and we can run instances together, and finishing up some sculpting.

Here's my most recent piece. He's about 3" long, and about 2" tall to the tip of his tail. His whiskers are actually old guitar strings!

I'm currently working on a mouse for him to play with, and another figure that I'm basing on a cartoon character. More pictures when they're finished!

Sleepy!

Hi guys,

man, I'd forgotten how tiring sitting in a chair and learning all day can be. It's a good thing our classes are interesting, or else I'd be doomed. ;) The hard part of being in class from 8-5 is the urge to boredom eat. Today I packed a lunch heavy in fruit and granola bars, so I could just sort of munch all day. Mmm, munching. I had a plucot (plum crossed with an apricot), and its sticker said it was a 'dinosaur egg.' It was actually quite apt, as the fruit is a mottled red and green, and could quite easily be the offspring of a terrible lizard!

Truly, my classes are fantastic so far. Very interesting, and only one textbook that says silly things like:

"We often start out by asking our clients if they are ventriloquists. When they inevitably answer 'no,' we say 'you should try it - you hardly open your mouth when you speak!'"

I'm totally pooped, so I'll have to tell you more about the classes later. Mostly, I just wanted to show you what I've been up to. Jason's teaching me to sculpt with polymer clay, and I wanted to show you project #2. My first creation was a purple bug that I gave to Megs, and I have no photos of it. Suffice it to say that he was a little rougher than this one. I also have a third in the works, but it's not quite finished yet.

Without further ado, I give you: Baby and Frog. Artist: Elizabeth Huebert. Medium: Polymer clay. Date: September 9, 2007.




Hope you all are having a good week so far!
