I don’t need another hobby, BUT…
…since I’ve been home, I’ve been doing art projects with my nephew and brother, and they’ve shown me the joys of Sculpey. In the past week, I’ve made two characters that hearken back to my Dungeons & Dragons days – a dwarf and a beholder:
The treasure chest below the beholder was actually made by Scott, my brother. It looks exactly how I pictured it in my head, but I had no idea how I was going to shape it. When he was done, I thought, “Oh. Der.” Guess I’m going to trust my instincts from now on and just make the shapes as I see them. Like I don’t have enough to do this summer, right? Now my free time is going to be spent making clay monsters.
Maybe next I’ll do Maggie Gallagher as a harpie, however redundant that may be.
