Now that I've finished the armature in all of its tin foil glory, as you can see below, it's time for the skin layer.
Pasta machines, as I learned, are not only great for making home-made pasta, but are really great for running your Sculpy through, to make it flat and really skin-like. It's really kind of a cool technique. Just don't use the machine ever again for making pasta, unless you want to poison yourself. That would be a bad thing.
Once I had some really flat pieces, I added them on top of the tin foil armature. This saves a lot of clay and the foil structure acts like a skeleton. And, the foil won't catch fire, when you finally bake it (so I am told.). Here are this weeks photos of Zombie Kitty Kawaii! with her first layer of skin:
Now, the fun truly begins. I get to start modelling her!
Zombie Kitty Kawaii! wants to travel the world and she needs your help!
