I used to be nervous it would burn, so I'd soak the wood in water. But I know wood doesn't ignite until it gets over 400 degrees, and the Sculpey bakes at 275.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-73987162356961257022010-10-16T22:23:44.160-04:002010-10-16T22:23:44.160-04:00I have a question about making maquettes out of sc...I have a question about making maquettes out of sculpy.

Even though I don't look at the maquette much anymore, and it is falling apart (it's not as well made as this mosasaur), simply the experience of sculpting was a huge help. It forced me to understand how a creature that began as a doodle would look in three dimensions, from different angles, when lit different ways, etc.Everett Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08382845307711366562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-48111296677321433982010-10-15T10:15:15.413-04:002010-10-15T10:15:15.413-04:00Daroo, no, I meant to say that I twirled the wire ...Daroo, no, I meant to say that I twirled the wire together where I wanted it, then smeared the armature with glue to hold the loose coils together.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-12147650922376401482010-10-15T09:34:51.964-04:002010-10-15T09:34:51.964-04:00Thanks --great post.
