I used this one because of the grog. I just hope this one makes it through. Losses can be so disappointing and I think a sculpture which takes so much longer to make - would probably be a much greater loss to me.<BR/><BR/>I haven't tried paper clay yet. I might use that next time I try a sculpture. I really liked making it and I can see myself making some more of them. I have another idea in my mind for a bird sculpture and I want it more delicate looking so I think the paperclay may be just the thing to use, thanks for the suggestion.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-32282466970988062512008-10-13T11:51:00.000-04:002008-10-13T11:51:00.000-04:00I think you're doing a fine job - and if it's your...I think you're doing a fine job - and if it's your first sculpture, then it's also involves a learning curve. The next one will be better! After looking at some paper clay artists, are you using paper clay? It sounds like it's very forgiving and cracks can be repaired easily.<BR/><BR/>I love the idea behind your piece too. It's always hard to cut down a tree, but sounds like it was necessary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-13895091072295626242008-10-11T21:25:00.000-04:002008-10-11T21:25:00.000-04:00thanks Gary, I do hope she makes it through to fir...thanks Gary, I do hope she makes it through to firing.
