Today's snail creature. I went with a gentler looking demeanor on this guy. But just in case someone thinks him a push over - I still gave him sharp teeth. <br />

When I got around to decorating today's snail creature I thought of the old ditty " red touch yellow kill a fellow " in regards to the coloration of certain venomous snakes. Though I'm sure you'd have to severely provoke this wary looking snail to get him to bite. <br />

Today was a mix of sculpting and sorting through my fishing tackle getting it ready for the bass season. Being an early riser I like to get a jump on starting my sculpture as soon as the coffee kicks in.<br />

In the morning I created the wire armature and after covering it in Ave's Apoxie clay I added the pre-baked polymer clay eyes.<br />

Because of that I haven't been as diligent photographing the work in progress photos for my 30 Day Art Challenge as I would have liked.<br />
<br />
Here is a link to my FB page where I updated Day 9 of the challenge Friday evening : <br />

I was able to get an early start this morning roughing out the armature of my new critter. Since this piece will be bigger I'm using self curing Aves Apoxie Sculpt <a href="https://www.avesstudio.com/apoxie/apoxie-sculpt">avesstudio.com/apoxie/apoxie-sculpt . </a><br />

I posted my Day 6 piece on my Facebook page but forgot to post it here on my blog : <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.975330419182447.1073741849.126601960721968&type=3">https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.975330419182447.1073741849.126601960721968&type=3</a><br />

So for this next piece I wanted a fiercer looking shelled creature. I started the armature early in the day.<br />

While the Aves Apoxie Sculpt clay was curing I sculpted the shell out of Super Sculpey firm clay.<br />
<br />

When the Aves clay had cured I sculpted the interior of the mouth in polymer clay and added the pre-baked fangs. <br />

I like to bake the polymer clay shell first. Then I can test it to the unbaked clay snail. A hemostat comes in handy for holding small parts while adding texture to the clay. <br />
