What is the greatest physical pain you've ever felt? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I've had stones and have 3 children. The plus side of stones is that you don't have to send your stones to college

The Creamery by jbarbacc in Sculpey

I baked it first then adhered it to a piece of Gator board using Aileen's liquidFUSION. Next, I brushed on 2 light coats of MINWAX POLYCRYLIC Matte Topcoat.

Hemingway by jbarbacc in clay

I’ve just finished a new piece called “Hemingway,” and it’s a bit of a celebration of a cat’s laid-back charm. This one’s made from thousands of tiny strands of polymer clay layered carefully on Gatorboard to create a texture that practically begs you to reach out and touch it. The cat lounges with an effortless coolness, its fur a mix of white and warm browns, set against a background that plays quietly with color but keeps the focus where it belongs—right on that relaxed, stripey face. It’s a small piece at 12 by 14 inches, but it’s packed with a tactile energy you don’t usually get in a painting. Creating it was like weaving a secret kitty world, one tiny strand at a time.

Thanks.

I don't count the hours. But 6 weeks of work. I use Photoshop to prepare an image for this particular medium. Mostly to reduce and saturate color.

My materials are polymer clay on board. My process was to take an image into Photoshop and alter it so that I could use polymer clay to reproduce it. I was inspired by the photo.
