How precious! I recognize some of those - that green guy holding the log - there was a set of whatever that belonged in my daughter's stuff (she's 22 nowO. How cute to find them there after years. I wish I could have kept all the kids between the ages of 3 and 5 - we would just live so peacefully and happily forever.And you see all these little things? As I was landscaping my yard, I found these various treasures buried in the ground from when my kids were little. They are 20 and 24 now. Anyway, I took all these little toys and a few more not pictured that I found after the photo was taken and I made a stepping stone with them. It is now in my garden.
My mom didn't keep our stuff - I don't know what she did with it.
Oh, do I know what you're saying.
aha - I found my pictures! We have a new program at our church -its a Montessori based religious ed for young children, and I asked them what I could do to help, and they gave me the task of making the figures for the The Last Supper. The Centacle was purchased not made, but did varnish it - no staining, it just had this naturally beautiful color. I didn't think I could do it, I'd never made figurines, but here it is - (I said a prayer over each one).
And a little close up - they do have eyes, just toothpick holes, but they look more like eyes in person.
I love that. Wonderful creativity.
Thanks - it was fun. I've been trying to do the Annunciation for them too, but I can't get the angel right - he looks like a pretty butterfly.
Sculpy and lots of love - they were fun to make. Did you notice all the different races? Who knew there were Irish and Scottish and Asians at the Last Supper? But I prayed while I worked on them and because our parish is so diverse it seemed important to make sure everyone had a rep. I've got a while to complete the Annunciation, wings are hard.Maybe that's what angels look like!
What are your figures made of? Love them!
Excellent work !!
Could you just sculpt the angel as you did for the others and use a different medium for the wings- like feathers or stiffened lace??
That's a great idea! that might make all the difference in the world. Sculpy doesn't work well when it needs to be thinned out, and wings don't look right if they're too thick. I'll give that a try! You may have just solved my problem, @Spideyman !
Once that pizza is cut, how does it stay together as a charm or necklace, or do you make each piece it's own charm? Very cool.Pizza fun.
Maybe do the wings with craft feathers?
Aaaannnnd... that 's what you get when you don't read the whole thread before replying

I like the feather idea a lot but another possibility would be to make an armature with wire that you mold the clay onto. Maybe something like an 18 or 20 gauge so it wouldn't be too heavy. Never tried it so it might not work but just a suggestion.
Another good idea! I'm going try it all and see what works. I'll post the pix if I ever get it right.
I got stuck on a chapter last week, so I had to do something that occupied the front of my brain and let the underbrain boil without interference. I recovered my couch pillows and made a new table square Simple stuff, but it works
