Alright, let me give you a run down of my week. I tried to put polymer clay on the cat, but I learned way too quickly that the clay got too brittle and the vines would fall off. So, I tried to use wires for the vines instead. I discovered that in trying to place the wires, they scratched off a lot of my watercolor work. This made me go back to clay, and the picture above is the most recent clay attempt.
I also planned out another piece. It'll be a lot bigger, and unfortunately it'll probably be paper mache, but I'm excited about it. I'm going to take it home over the "between semesters break" to try and bake the clay on and finish it off.

I'm on a roll! I was able to completely finish this piece!
It was hard trying to make the chicken look realistic while still keeping some cartoonish qualities, but I am really happy with how it turned out. I had a ton of fun figuring out the watercolors and trying to create a style that's very me. I decided to do the coloring based off my chicken Donatello who passed away last year, so this piece is special to me. Next week, I want to try and make some last touches to my pieces before the semester ends. I want to try and get the flowers and vines onto my cat piece, as well as try to sketch and plan my course of action for next semester. Lots to do, so little time. This week I tried learning how to watercolor a ceramic piece. This was difficult, since I never use watercolor and rarely ever paint. I did find it satisfying, however, and I'm liking the progress that I'm making with this piece. Next week, I'm going to try and paint my chicken piece since I'm on a watercolor high right now!
