Here is a recently completed sculpture I made based on the two most recent Doctor Who episodes! The flesh is contorted and twisted - alone and in pain - I think that every living being can relate to this at some point. The silent scream from the flesh's mouth says only "Why?"
Thanks for checking it out - let me know what you think!
I made the base from pine wood, painted, and lacquered. The actual sculptural form was made from white plaster of paris which was marbelized with deep purple custom dyed plaster veins and blue glass veins.

More pictures are in the comments because for some reason my cut tags aren't working today!

Bandannas Galore!
Jun. 3rd, 2011 02:56 pmI have quite a few bandannas that I never wear and thus have no use for. I'm wondering if any of you lovelies have any ideas on what I can use them for! The only thing I could think of was throw pillows, but I have no need for those. Thanks!
Angry Bird Cupcakes
Jun. 3rd, 2011 03:00 pmToday is my husband's 26th birthday and every year I make him something. Last year it was gigantic X-box pillows, that he loved so I knew I had to top last year. However, he's such a difficult man to make things for (he doesn't think he is. If only he knew the HOURS of thought and internet searching that goes into his gifts...)
Like 2/3 of America he's obcessed with Angry Birds and I stumbled across this blog in my many hours of searching and thought that this lady was a GENIUS. I couldn't find the right kind of sprinkles and I dyed 'em too dark but considering the fact that I've never tried anything of this scale before, I'm pretty darn pleased. (And so is my husband).
I spent about $40 on supplies (since I didn't have anything except the cupcake pans) and 2.5 hours in the kitchen. I have LOTS of leftover candy and so I probably make a few more batches in the next few weeks to use up the candy.
