I'm a complete novice with clay. My goal is to make leather masks (sort of comedia del arte style). I started out this project by purchasing Monster Clay (oil based), alginate, plaster bandages, and Hydrocal, with the intent to end up with a positive mold I could use to wet form the leather over. Basically, its the same process as a life cast, but I'm doing in over an armature. This is an expensive, time consuming, messy process, and it just occurred to me that maybe I could skip all the intermediate steps and simply use air dry clay to create my positive on the armature, and then just we ..read more

3D Art Portfolio help Hello all, my deadline for my AP artportfolios is coming up and I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas on what I could do/add for my 3D Portfolio.

Perhaps a journey through someone's mind and the fast imagination, or a drawn up concept of the future and exploring concepts of the unknown because for all we know space whales do exist.
