Happy dude, no? Has an evil eyebrow... Last week I noodled around with some polymer clay. My sister gave me a whole lot of it a while back but it's been gathering dust in a closet. In a bag of scraps, I found a head someone had started. The colors were strange - but I could tell that they had put a lot of work into it. There were white eyeballs, brown hair, even ears, but the face and head looked more like a bowling ball than anything else and I just couldn't help myself. I wish I could show a before/after, but here's what I ended up with. Still need to bake it and decide if I'm going to make a body - I have trouble working over an armature, but I think that's what I'd have to do to make this work.

Here's the nativity sketch - sketched elements separately, scanned them at a high resolution then compiled them into the scenes. Wish I'd had more time to work on these, but I think I've done ok in the time allotted. I'm glad God's given me a place to work that will allow me to do creative things like this even though I still feel a little funny about being found sketching when the boss shows up at the door and says 'what cha' doin?'
