Yesterday, I bought some professional modeling clay, so papier mäché is on the horizon. The local craft store was sold out of Super Sculpey, but it was also holding a 30% off sale on all clay and sculpting supplies, so I finally bought some Super Sculpey Firm, which is supposed to have a phenomenal capacity for capturing minute detail. There was only one other package left, and this is the last day of the sale, so maybe I’ll buy the last one before I go to work this afternoon. Danny Boy bought some acrylic paints so we could start painting puppet heads. We had used Liquitex acrylic paints in tubes for the Harry Potter puppets, which worked well, so we decided to use them again after my brief and unsuccessful experiment with Ceramcoat liquid acrylics (which are very inexpensive, but have poor texture for our purposes and a dull matte appearance).
In related news, I added Sculpey.com to the links page of the Cuparium.
