It's so good to come across other artists who work with polymer clay and are open about the struggles when working with this clay.
This is the reminder I need.
Sculpting over the last 20 years has taught me much about myself, that I am tenacious, quite resilient in pushing through the barriers...but unfortunately I'm also impatient in contrast and ready to bin a project at times, as it can be a struggle to interpret failure or a bump in the road, to just keep going.
Because when is it trusting the process and understanding these twists and turns are par of the course, and when is it just pure insanity??
Ah. The life and brain of an artist. π
Video; finally achieving success after weeks of an impossible cheek situation! (Thank God!)
After a lengthy final sand, the head gets a wash and rinse, ready for the next stage.
It's been so busy lately, so this one had to be shelved for a while. It feels good to have the time to focus on it again.
