Hey!
Lately, I've been obsessed with sugar skulls. I first laid my big bright eyes on them on Charlavail's tumblr (3 guesses what her URL is he he he, I made a funny...) and I decided that I wanted one of my own! So I've been scouring places looking for clay that would bake in an oven and believe me, it was a pretty darn long trek. I finally found the brand that Charlavail uses called Sculpey from Hobbes & Landes and I went crazy because it was only 150 pesos per block! For the past week, I've been "sculpting", molding, baking, painting and gluing. Basically feeling like an artist while doing so. I've made probably 7 but most of them are SO UGLY. I managed to make a presentable one but stupid me, I used poster paint instead of acrylic so the paint started to bleed :( I'm on my last stash of clay so hopefully this turns out okay or else I will hit somebody. Tally-ho!

All in all, it was worth it! Now excuse me while I try to pry my mighty-bonded fingers apart...
Messy child forever,
