while i was in Norway a few weeks ago, Janne and i messed around with some sculpty material called DAS. it was SO FUN. and easy to work with.
initially we made a very rough shape with tin foil.
then we just worked the clay over and worked it with our hands and a few simple tools.
let it dry 24 hours.
and then painted with mostly watered down acrylics.
slowly layering the colors.

this little guy was supposed to be a mouse but i'm thinking he looks a bit more like a bear.
i don't know if you can tell, we added a high gloss finish just to the eyes.
i think it made them come alive.
this was janne's piece.
here is another darling piece she created after i left.
it was refreshing to step out of my "normal" way of creating.
honestly i never would have thought that i was capable of sculpting.
it's a lot easier than it looks.
you should try it :)
