Creative Friday - Sculpture

Part of the Creative Fridays activities was sculpting using "M-seal," an epoxy-like compound used here in India for sealing plumbing joints. It comes in two putty sticks, when mixed together the compound begins to harden at about 15 minutes, then completely hardens in about 60 minutes. This poses some interesting issues to deal with in molding and sculpting. Below are some of the results.

A few of the sculptures on display in the Gallery window using cylindrical tubes as pedestals.


After hardening, the compound can be painted. This is Janis' Canadian goose, whimsically fashioned as a toothpick holder...









Here are Chuck's bird's nest (sorry for the lack of focus!) and miniature garden & pond...









Vikhor has been trying to depict scenes from his native land and culture of Nagaland. Hence this very realistic sculpture....
