Spring break and how I’m not going anywhere but my garage, kitchen, and bed
Wassup, this post is again going to be catching everyone up on where Anthony and Derek are at. I do have something different and exciting for this post so hold onto your hats!
This week has been kind of slow. A lot of the work that needed to be done required clay, but sadly I ran out (again). So while I was waiting for that to get to my house I was doing a bunch of little things. I got to be honest I was really not looking forward to them because they are all incredibly tedious (basically I was prolonging my inevitable demise until I ran out of clay and couldn’t anymore).
Anyway! the first tedious task that I started doing was making all of the spiders that I need to cover Anthony’s left leg. I have made so many little spiders. My three unwanted grandchildren were the only ones where I actually tried to make them look realistic (they each took a little more than an hour). I couldn’t be bothered to add that much detail with the other spiders so instead I made a bunch of little blobs and stuck wire into them. I call this picture the box of misery!
After I made so many spiders (which I might add that making the blob spiders took just as long as making the realistic ones) I started to attach them onto Anthony’s leg. I cannot describe to you how much I dislike this. Definitely the worst part for me cause like, ew.
I still need to cover the other side of his leg so I still need to make so many more :(. Also, I can only make like ten spiders at a time because any more would cause my hands to literally fall off. The amount of work these dumb spiders need is terrible. first I cut 8 pieces of wire and bent them into spidery leggy shapes, then form the blob of a spider body, then smoosh the wire into the clay. (this is very taxing on my hands, after one time that I did more than ten my hand was stuck in the position of the pliers I was using, I had to use my table in order to open my hand. It hurt).
Anyway, While I was doing the spiders I was also sculpting more with tin foil. The tin foil always coming back to haunt me. These are the worms on Anthony’s right leg and the one ✨tiny hand✨.
I was in a constant circle of making spiders and adding more tin foil, until Monday when more clay finally got delivered. My saving grace. I then filled up the space that I didn’t add clay onto, like on Derek.
That is where I am at right now and I am not looking forward to making more spiders :(.
Oh and the exciting thing I mentioned earlier was I started working on my presentation! I needed another task that I could do in order to feel productive that wasn’t spiders and tin foil.
Thanks for reading and following along!
