This week I got to work on the choppers for one of the heads. I used a process similar to my past pieces, but rather than using Dental acrylic (Very stinky stuff & stinky = death). So I took some translucent primo and mixed it with a variety of different sculpeys to get something akin to teeth and I did the same with the gums (while adding red felting for veins in the gums). The primo was so old I was going to revitalize it only to discover I was out of vasiline. Stranded, I went looking for petroleum products and found some lotion. After a few trips through the pasta maker and it came out pretty nice (smelled nice too).
The Final result is looking pretty good. I still need to put a few coats of clear down, but you get the idea.
Mixing up colors
I spent a very long time smoothing out this head by hand to avoid the lumpiness of the last head. Next week, he's ready for fleece!
