Cathy,
That's what I used it on...pure Prosculpt...nothing mixed in!
So you guys want limbs??? I'm thinking 1/4 limbs so little Pudgie Poo will be a Cuddle Bug.
Let's all hear what you want with the hands and feet. All participants are allowed a vote...whatever you guys vote, I'll do...fists...open hands...etc.
I'll give you guys a day or so to think about it...I may start on limbs this weekend...I may not
Thanks all!
San
Oh Lord Sonia...I could make a crack on that one...woodpecker cider...I'll just go open a bottle and keep my mouth SHUT!

OK San, I looked and looked and I still don't see what you're B----ing about with the left eye on Chubby Cheeks.
Is it off-center? Am "I" off-center? Who's on first? LOL
She's pretty spectacular if you ask me!

What if you take a craft knife to make it less thick, rather than a dremel, which sounds very scary!! LOL

Sam.....See I'm always confused which direciton you guys are...before or after us...of course the Stoli has NOTHING to do with it!!!
Sally,
Well right now I am looking DOWN on it and her right eyelid looks sort of droopy because it's thicker than the left. Don't worry I noticed this BEFORE the celebratory drink! I'll decide later..I'm just SO dang happy she doesn't have to go to the Rehab Center!
Remember this is what they tend to look like there....
Coming OFF the crack....
In denial.....
Well, I;m off to murder my children...someone spilled something on someone...blah blah blah....the beatings shall now commence!!!!!!!!!!!
We'll talk limbs later!

Re: TT....DFTT Rejects Sculpting Class...FINISHED
OK, now I see it.
Well, it is thicker but I'm not sure that fixing it will actually fix it, if you know what I mean.
I think some limbs and some hair, or a hat I suppose, and she will be just wonderful.
Who but the artist will object? Nobody, I suspect.
We are our own worst critics, aren't we?
Thank you Sandra for the wonderful tutorial.
Now, where did I put my clay?

[colorHi Ladies,
I saw this thread and started following it along, and thinking to myself, man, I can't believe we're getting a tutorial like this!....all the while, doing the happy dance!!! Sandra, thanks so much for doing this for us Reject Sculptors!
Ok, now here's my problem, and I'm praying that it's "just me" as usual , but, when I finished my baby head, after much tweeking, I baked it, then was sooo excited as I was dunking it in a sink of cold water and anticipating a baby without cracks, and I got just the opposite!! My baby is allllll cracked up!!
I used just Prosculpt (man, I'm starting to hate that stuff), so could that be it? Oh, the armature is one of the vinyl looking Secrest heads. (I highly recommend that you don't use those!)
So, here I am, stillllll sipping on the brewsky and wondering where it all went wrong!! I've got more babies on crack than babies off crack!! And it's driving me crazy!!! sniff, sniff, sniff....what did I do wrong??? Will it eevvveerrrrr end??
I have some Cernit, but that stuff is like a rock trying to get it to blend, even with a pasta machine! How do you Aces get that crap to mix??
Sandra, please help me out as I sit here crying over my crack baby! I just wanna give up!!! UUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!
Heads Up!
Melissa
ps/ Sam, you can sculpt some pretty babies girl!!! Can't wait to see your baby!!!

Re: TT....DFTT Rejects Sculpting Class...FINISHED
Melsie,
Oh I feel for you. Crack another beer open!!!!!!!!!
DON"T GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband adds....drinking the beer! hahaha I mean the sculpting!!!!!!
Well, maybe it's that styrofoam head form! Hmmmmmm.
OK here's EXACTLY what I did. Put the oven on at 275. I was following some directions I asked of Jen Printy. She is the one that told me of the German Styro heads from Honeybuns. She told me she bakes her heads standing on a sculpting form. Well I was using an old stand from one of those mini dress forms so THAT wouldn't fit in my oven!!! So be the stickler for accuracy - hahahah -hahahhaha - I open my junk utensil drawer to see what I could use. I pull out my meat thermometer, shove that baby up the sculpts neck and VOILA a sculpt stand. I baked it for 35 minutes.
I had a HUGE bowl of water AND ice (which melted once the 35 min was up) sitting ready in the sink.
Buzzer goes off. I open oven door and panic at first because head is tilted toward the front. Pea Brain here forgot about the whole styrofoam will melt thing. My head is hollow with a small ball of styro left in it.
I immediately take it over and submerge it in the water.
I don't have even one tiny crack!! I checked ALL over it!!!
I have a craphead in my workroom...it's not all prosculpt though...it's the 4:1 mix. I'll go stick it in the oven and see what it does. It has a foil form inside.
We'lll get this figured out!!!!! DON"T GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll go get the head..and while I'm at it...I'll have a drink in remembrance of your poor head.
Maybe we could start a new doll line....CRACKHEADS. We're not the only ones that have rooms full of these things. Maybe I should be PMing you this...we could buy them up from everyone for like a penny a piece then charge HUNDREDS!!! WAHHHAAHHHAAA
OK I'm off to try that head for you.....................

Re: TT....DFTT Rejects Sculpting Class...FINISHED
Oh Sandra, you're an angel for trying that head out for me! I DO tend to wonder if it was the armature that I used. See, I had originally put Real Eyes in that were blue; but the didn't look very good. So, I went and got a pair of nice glad eyes, brown, and changed the eyes. While I was doing this, I discovered that after I took the eyes out, that the clay had eaten thru the eye sockets. WTH??? So, I had to use clay to pack in there so I put the new eyes in.
Crack baby has cracks under her chin, and a huge on going from under the chin to the temple area. The above the eyebrow.
I'm also having problems with Prosculpt getting warm (alot like SS does) and having to keep sticking it in the refrigarator.
I tried fixing cracks all kinds of ways before now, but the only thing I hadn't tried was E6000, sanding it and smoothing clay over that and popping it back into the over for a few minutes. Don't know how the E6000 will react to the oven (at this point and with my luck, it'll probably explode!)
Have to put some batteries in my camera, so I will post some of it tomorrow. k? Thanks so much for everyone's help!!
Hugs,
Melissa
