"Blues Cats I" Polymer Clay Sculpture

I was pleased with the diorama effects of an earlier piece and was going for something similar. The standing figure is about eleven inches tall, made of Super Sculpey over copper and aluminum armature, and brush painted with acylics.The back is made of three layers of luan, with the door and window cut from two, to give those features some depth. The siding, door, steps, etc. are either balsa or luan, and the turf is air dry clay. I cut the glass for the window and door from an old pane. This guitar is luan and balsa, toothpicks and thread.

"Une Fille" Polymer Clay Sculpture

This is another older piece, but one that I love. She is Super Sculpey over a copper wire armature. I started using 6 - 8 AUG copper ground wire for armature way back when because it was available at the big box hardware stores. It was cheaper and more available than aluminum wire at the time and, of course, easier to manipulate than steel wire. The arms are ususally thinner aluminum wire. She is about eleven inches tall.

"Retired At Last" Polymer Clay Sculpture

Figures are about eleven inches tall, made of Super Sculpey modeled over copper and aluminum armature, and brush painted with acrylics. Turf is sand and good ol' Elmer's Glue. This piece was completed in 2022.

CEMENT MOONS/CEMENT "CLAY" RECIPE

Moon faces made awhile back with various mortar recipes. Most have held up well. I've settled on a recipe using 5 parts sand, 3 parts clay, 2 parts Portland cement, and 3 parts builder's lime. Sometimes I add a small gob of asphalt emulsion. Maliable and durable for outside.
