Ok, I want to know right now why no one has ever told me about Sculpty before.
This magic, wonderful stuff that is made from pure awesomeness kept me busy all weekend! J and I spent pretty much all of Saturday ignoring the snow falling outside and making robot ornaments. He made a robocop, and it turned out great.
Sunday I went a little nuts (more so than usual) and made 14 robots. I came up with five different variations of the robots:
Lovely: a robot with a heart
Sweetie: robots that are hoarders of the sweets
Dottie: robots who are rockin’ out the polka dots
Buddy: a robot who always has a special gift for you
Patches: robots who needed some patches to mend themselves
I had so much fun with these little guys- I already know that I will be making more. Of course I have no idea what I will be doing with all the robots after the holidays are over- these will all be gifted.
I foresee a give-away on this blog in the future of the robot variety… what types of robots would you like to see as a give-away?
Oh my goodness, I haven’t played with Sculpey since I was a kid. This post is making me VERY nostalgic. Looks like you got hooked!
Hahah! Oh boy, “hooked” is way too mild of a word- I am obsessed with this stuff now! Every day I think about something else that I can make with it!!
Do you happen to know what type of glossy stuff to use on the finished objects to make them shiny?
Hmm… I’ve never tried it but I would think that any kind of clear finish for models and other projects like that would work. I’ve heard of people using clear nail polish but that seems a little…questionable. Haha.
Ah, I never thought of looking at the model section of the craft store!
I would think that clear nail polish would be very stinky. And could potentially chip
Thanks for your response!! Hope you are having a fabulous day
