sculpted the #balloonknot. Probably need to do at least 2 or primer coats on this before painting. Prime, sand, prime, sand. Rinse repeat
primed & finally seeing some of the effect I’m going for. Still need to sculpt a polymer clay balloon knot
modifying to fit these together for a “balloon” effect. Screwing, gluing, adding bondo to make the egg less egg, more uniform oval. Sanding, priming, sculpting polymer clay parts to get glued on
ping pong ball neck, and for the head, a purple plastic ball from a toy dispensing machine
yes, that is just a giant plastic Easter egg. Can you think of a more bouyant thing as thin & lightweight as that?
really had no idea how to fabricate a rigid, artificial ballon shape that’d be durable and buoyant, so I just started looking for lightweight round objects about the right size that would float. A random fiberglass decorative ball & aluminum candle holder should suffice
sketched this for the last of 3 “White Male Decoys” to be installed in Seattle @cannonballarts floating in an actual pond, I mean real water, well, fake pond but with real water inside, indoors, AH YA JUST GOTTA SEE THIS PLACE!!! @cannonballarts @cannonballarts @cannonballarts !!!!
oh wait, did I paint this the wrong way?
Badonkaduck 2, about to be installed in the indoor pond being built right now @cannonballarts in Seattle. Still need to add a cigarette in its beak… mouth… lips… thing
