I just celebrated my birthday recently and, I felt old. I feel that I have missed a lot of opportunities in my life and that, I lost a part of me.
In this post, I attempted to make a likeness of my dog. Having a dog is not an easy task especially because I am far away from him. He is currently living with my mom- being cared for. Before I had a dog, everything revolves around me. When I had him, I learned to forgive, include him in all my decisions, let go, forgive.
He reminds me that I am strong. I am a better person. I can be the best that I could possibly be.
I started by using a silicone mold made for resins.
I filled it with pink clay.
Then I lightly rolled a white clay to "put things together." Then I added the blue clay to make the sky.
The "sky clay mixture." I did not completely blend it completely but applied it like this( I rolled it first into think strips).
Here I am making the initial details.
Then I added texture and volume to make the features.
Then I baked it.
Unfortunately, it did not turn up the way I wanted it to turn up. I cranked up the temperature in the oven so high it burned parts of the pieces. Well, you guys will find out what happened with the rabbit piece later.
So I decided to improvise and just, cover the whole thing. I invested a lot of my time in creating the dog details and its not going to the rubbish.
I baked it a second time- much, much, much lower than the previous temperature and, I baked it slowly( I am so concerned that it would make the whole piece brittle and frail- I might even break it by taking it out of the baking pan).
And I got something that looks like this- back view.
I used my pen to complete the details with the eyes and I got something that looks like this.
Very nice.
