Why you can make little creatures! I've been saving these Zip Fizz tubes for ages. I've a ton of ideas, but this one is going to be part of the September Full Moon Alter piece for Little Alters. Do they look like they're stuck and trying to get free? Do they look like they're happy to be getting out of the tubes? Well, wouldn't you?
Zip Fizz Tube Escapees in Apoxie Sculpt. Copyright 2013 Gwen Gyldenege. All Rights Reserved.
For a little perspective, I put in a 1.5" x 2" post-it, a standard pen, and a 7" banana. The tubes themselves are 5/8" in diameter and 3-5/8" in length. The alter space is much shorter than the tubes, so I'll be doing some cutting. And, I've still to dremmel sand the guys and paint them. Stay tuned as I show you more progress.
Oh, and I might add, when I first started working with this 2-part epoxy called apoxie sculpt, I did not like the way my little guys turned out. "Bleah!" I thought. "The clay is droopy, the guys look droopy, what the hell am I going to come up with now that I've only 5 days left until the full moon?!?!" But thanks to both my parents and their delight at seeing the little guys, they actually laughed and were totally delighted, they showed me that the suggestion or idea of something can often be as good as fine, fine detail.
So...
