Hi! So I’m making a character popsicle sculpture. I was thinking about if I can add like a sheet of metal to polystyrene board, add fiberglass with epoxy , sand and then paint and add magnets to the “gumball eyes? So that way the eyes could be placed on different parts of the sculpture? I wonder if a layer of epoxy would keep it from being magnetic? Is there a better way to do this? I’m basically trying to see how I can make eyes that can be removed then placed in different areas of the sculpture and magnets were my first thought.

I afixed the bottom corn and the crab to the newspaper with Goop. But i meant to cut out the news paper/magazine clippings from where the pieces would be adhered so that it would be in direct contact with the canvas. In retrospect i probably should’ve maybe left a hole in each and attached wood behind the canvas or something? Im worried that the clay pieces may be heavy when hung up and fall off . Any suggestions on making it more secure? Corn and crab have aluminum foil or paper in them to make lighter .
