Any of you guys willing to start a thread (maybe one that can be loceked and stickied) kind of informally giving a "How to?" I like I'm sure many others here have been wanting to try and see what kind of a mess I can make with clay. However, when I go to the craft store I couldn't even begin to figure out what to buy. It would be awesome (IMHO) if the guys that post here sort of laid out a bare bones outline. i.e.:
Clear off a table x size by x size;
go to the craft store buy:
x to make a stand
x type of clay
x to make (armatures?) armatures are_______.
an oven to do ________
you will need these materials
these tools
this much time etc, etc.
I recognize that this is not a "hobby" but for most of you guys its a passion, livelihood, craft, and maybe even a calling so I am not suggesting that the information I'm suggesting is all anyone needs to sculpt like Michelangelo, but I would like to have the experience of making a mess with sculpey, but I wouldn't know where to start. Anyone up for it?
If not, anyone know a good "sculpting comic characters for beginners" book I can read?
