Smoothing this became an obsession!
This was the first time I gave clay a good crack and I became a bit obsessed.
I ordered some tools to finish this off after starting with some pretty poor plastic tools that I had. The suckers dried quite quickly while I was waiting for the tools to arrive and my fingers weren't quite cutting it. So I'm a little disappointed with how they turned out, but I know for next time!
Those balls on sticks are incredible! I could sit there for hours barely breathing trying to smooth the surface using those tools!
Its now to dry to continue and its still a bit rough round the edges, but i learnt a lot and can't wait to create another one!
Also, I had to make this while sitting and lying on the floor in my lounge, which made it difficult to reach some places (carving and smoothing while upside down was new to me) I thought a Lazy-Susan could help.
I love this medium!
