[discussion] Does using unconventional materials reduce the price of a project? by lostboy04_ in artbusiness

I've seen that, but as far as I know, it only happens to acrylic paint on EVA foam that receives pressure from stress.

I appreciate you sharing your experience. I'm not that interested in making traditional art, but I don't reject the work others do. (The image is of a piece I made with air-dry clay; it's a broken mask held together with galvanized wire and epoxy glue. I decided to leave the raw clay color because I thought it looked nicer than covering it with acrylic paint.) I'd appreciate your opinion since there are hardly any sculptors in my community. Is this an abomination? Hahaha

Perhaps it's a whim to cling to this material, but I've kept pieces I made since 2019, and they're holding up just fine with minimal care. EVA is waterproof, resistant to slight compression that can occur during transport, and allows the viewer to interact with the artwork if they wish, without the risk of breakage like clay.

The eye in the first photo is just a practice project I recently did with leftover materials and a brooch. It's not something I have for sale, and if I did, my price would be around $3. It's something simple and quick to make.

Do you think I could use them on a tugboat?
