I went out and bought galvanized wire and Sculpey clay so I can make my dad a zombie bust for his birthday, but I am unsure if Sculpey clay is meant for such a large pieceI have only seen small figures made from it and it has got me wondering if this is even feasibleI understand that there is a limit to its thicknessI am using the wire and aluminum foil for the fillerI spoke briefly with my design teacher about this on the last day of class, but he never gave me a clear answer.Your help is greatly appreciated! I got to get this done by January 24!
You can hangout downtown on the mall, ancient sac, park, or loungesSee a film on the force-in off Bradshaw, race your middle out at RPM off Bradshaw, excellent looking is in Roseville or the Vacaville outlet, bowl with peers at Strikes in Elk Grove, Scandia mini golfing arcade off Madison, indoor surf the dream laptop in Elk Grove, jump figure out at Sky High on enormous indoor trampolines, paintball indoor or out of doors, capture an indoor football recreation at Off The Wall, capture a Kings recreation or Rivercats recreation, cruise the river by way of boat or the river taxi, spend the day via the river on the Discovery Park coastline, pass fishing on the delta, jet ski Folsom lake or the river, pass clutch a few dinner dance the night time away on the many well bar nightclubs, spend a night time at Sac Raceway off Excelsior or the All American Speedway on the Place County Fair Grounds watch races dragsters, pass to the zoo, capture a dinner coachIf those do not spark your curiosity Sacramento is a brief force clear of plenty of alternative excellent towns.Davis, San Francisco (continuously has anything a laugh to do), Santa Cruz (has the Beach Boardwalk), Vallejo (has Six Flags subject matter park), Folsom, Lake Tahoe, Reno, Santa Clara (has Great America subject matter park), Monterey (excellent little romantic/date/weekend getaway the city, personally).and many othersIf you want another strategies, recommendations, or have any questions.permit me recognize.

It is my impression that it would be rather awkwardWorking that large (or larger) in pottery (or air dry) clay requires that (for sculpture, if not thrown) that you build up to a certain height with moderately thick walls (1/2 or more) and then let it firm up (dry) so it is stiff enough to support the added weight abovePolymer clay cannot be worked that way - it dries somewhat over a period of time (slowly) but becomes crumbly And check out using the wire - armatures in the discussions I have seen are aluminum foil and I have assumed that is because the expansion rate and weakness of the foil does not destroy the clay during bakingUnless you worked with it in class and know it will work, or can find online evidence (or talk to the companies that make it), I would suggest a test piece about the size of a grapefruit with 3/8 to 1/2 walls taken thru bakingThis in it self will use a fair amount of Sculpey and not be cheap, so perhaps you could make it as a model head of your planned pieceI think, because the foil interferes with working the inside of the clay yet does not provide firm surface to work against, you will have to build up several coils of clay above the last layer of foil, blend them, then fill in more foil to continue higherGoogle 'working large in Sculpey clay' and see what they think is large and what suggestions they have They may think large is a tall skinny 12 doll, not a bust several inches taller and 6-7 wide in the head and wider in the shoulders.
