It's okay, I know it's rough, but I've never sculpted anything in my entire life. Let see, yes I used the wrong kind of clay (had to bake it), and I used coated wire instead of bare. I know you can see the wire and ball joints in some areas but that's okay... it won't be seen up close and it will be holding an empty corona bottle. Let me know what you think.
Wow boo, that looks great ! When I made my hands, the beads were still showing, but after painting them that wasn't a problem. Besides I have looked at your pics and can't see anything showing. Hope to see pics at some time of the full prop !
Thanks everybody. I will post more pics as I get more done. This hand holding the Corona bottle will be for my "Mexican asleep at the cactus" scene (of course he's a corpsed out blucky). Wearing a sombrero, dead against the cactus, tumbleweeds (maybe from Unorthodox?), snakes, scorpions, big steer skull and horns, coyote skull....any more ideas? This is just for the front section of the house (like outside the front windows where plants would normally be). Only thing I need a western backdrop. Shindigz has some but they are expensive. Have to figure that one out still.
You can sculpt! Very nice job on those skellie hands. No worries that you used the bakeable kind of clay, whatever works. You just have to remember to be careful with coated wire or styrofoam because of the toxic issues when heated.
