Learning 99 ways not to sculpt things 😊https://bsky.app/profile/thewistfulfox.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/thewistfulfox.bsky.social/post/3los5qslqjk2iAdded foil to bulk out his belly... The fun game starts of trying to smooth his torso so that it looks like metal. Using many palette knifes... I feel like I smooth one area and push another out of place 😂 #polymerclay #sculpture #sculptingclass #ilovecosclay #robot #claysculpture10 May 2025 04:58 +0000at://did:plc:uqlxcsugaarn7putjq74wgae/app.bsky.feed.post/3los5qslqjk2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/thewistfulfox.bsky.social/post/3lo3kmvzko22oWith the sketch done, time for the real robot. Using tubes for the limbs, both to allow the wire for the LEDs to run up the body but also because it looks amazing. Bending the tubes was extremely hard 😂🫣 it took two of us and we snapped some where it suddenly went too well.... #polymerclay01 May 2025 05:17 +0000at://did:plc:uqlxcsugaarn7putjq74wgae/app.bsky.feed.post/3lo3kmvzko22ohttps://bsky.app/profile/thewistfulfox.bsky.social/post/3lnnoqsazek2xBetween Easter Holidays and attending a lovely wedding, there hasn't been much time to work on my robot. Sketch is finished, I enjoyed sculpting him so much I couldn't stop and got carried away with all the details. Now to catch up before Sunday. #polymerclay #sculpture #monsterclay25 Apr 2025 16:53 +0000at://did:plc:uqlxcsugaarn7putjq74wgae/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnnoqsazek2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/thewistfulfox.bsky.social/post/3lmozw4u7tg2iThe first of many heads. As per usual I forgot to take progress photos. Surprised myself as I enjoyed finding this character so much... I just couldn't stop. He was meant to be a sketch but I literally couldn't stop playing 😂 #polymerclay #sculpture #sculptingclass #monsterclay #robot #clayart13 Apr 2025 12:21 +0000at://did:plc:uqlxcsugaarn7putjq74wgae/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmozw4u7tg2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/thewistfulfox.bsky.social/post/3lmmhdzvya32uQuite like the tubby oven-like belly and skinny legs.

Unfortunately, my poor dragon is still waiting for his scales, and he'll have to be patient a bit longer. #polymerclay #sculpture12 Apr 2025 07:12 +0000at://did:plc:uqlxcsugaarn7putjq74wgae/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmly6tsi752qhttps://bsky.app/profile/thewistfulfox.bsky.social/post/3lfwnc2mreq2fSlow progress on my procrastination project. I may have remade this little face more than a few times 😆 It's the eyes... I have a fae-like character in my head, similar a house brownie, so went with the dark eyes... not sure it works. #polymerclay #sculpture #cosclay #clayart17 Jan 2025 11:00 +0000at://did:plc:uqlxcsugaarn7putjq74wgae/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfwnc2mreq2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/thewistfulfox.bsky.social/post/3lfoso7a2lv2jBefore I try catch up on my dragon I felt like sculpting a little face... I'd quite like to try exaggerating the features, huge nose, pillowy cheeks - just play and see what comes of it. #polymerclay #sculpture #sculptureart #workinprogress #cosclay #ilovecosclay #claysculpture #clayart14 Jan 2025 08:15 +0000at://did:plc:uqlxcsugaarn7putjq74wgae/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfoso7a2lv2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/thewistfulfox.bsky.social/post/3lfmiu73jwi2zHappy Belated New Year to everyone - I hope 2025 brings much kindness and love to you all.

It's just... off? Too uniform? Not quite the right shape?
