Sculpting For a Mold
I have ALWAYS wanted to enter the International Polymer Clay Guild's (IPCA) Progress and Possibilities juried polymer clay competition. "It's $30 spent on fulfilling a goal-I'm doing it!" My friends encouraged me so I did it. In my heart I know I don't have a chance of even making it into the judging, but it is like the line in the Julia Child's movie where she says something like, "I love the moments in life when you feel like anything is possible". Just for that split second of entering the competition, I felt that little moment. Sigh. I've been wanting some little cactus earrings and what better way to get them than to sculpt them yourself. I used an old dental tool that is my absolute favorite for sculpting. Pre-heated my oven and then baked my little cactus at 250 degrees for 40 minutes and let cool.
