Thumb

       I was tempted to call this post "All Thumbs", but it was a little too cute. And a little too soon after the Eyes Only posts.
    
     Got the thumb sculpted to the relaxed hand today, plus some knuckle-refining that was frighteningly close to knuckle-destroying. Clay flew and curse words were thick in the air.
As much as I love air-dry clay, and Premix is a fantastic air-dry clay, I just can't help but miss polymer clay on days like this.
The thing is, polymer clay bends. It bends beautifully. Sculpting hands, even the fiddly little fingers in polymer was a dream compared to air-dry.
Toes and fingers never got torn off by accident because I bent them a bit too much.

These days I often get to the point where I have to put the clay down and back away from the WIP before I "overwork" it and ruin it completely.

Progress was made and I didn't break anything! Huzzah!

I'm not finished with this hand yet. Tomorrow will be Round Two. Ding ding!
