The lights a little low because its nighttime and I was excited and wanted to put pictures up immediately. I'll probably take more pictures in better light this weekend.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1705272901078496226-5314563543490988140?l=stripesnsketches.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Julian Birchmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02974599627500782222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705272901078496226.post-84742920124113659142012-02-11T21:31:00.001-08:002012-02-11T21:31:18.675-08:00<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/skUK-OlU4H0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1705272901078496226-8474292012411365914?l=stripesnsketches.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Julian Birchmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02974599627500782222noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705272901078496226.post-24716695758178393962012-02-05T14:02:00.001-08:002012-02-05T22:22:36.761-08:00Hello there readers! After a very, very, very long absence I am going to try to start this here blog up again. <br /><br />I am trying to teach myself how to make silicone molds of sculpts, in order to use them in future stop motion shorts. I'm envisioning this as sort of a process series with photographs for each step of the way, resulting in a fully painted, fully poseable silicone puppet. <br /><br />So here is my first attempt at sculpting a figure. I used Super Sculpey clay and everyday utensils to sculpt with: x-acto, serrated knife, shishkabob sticks. The discoloration on the figures face is a result of baking the figure for a little too long. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OwS2zBrBeng/Ty7_I8rhD3I/AAAAAAAAAgw/M0qfrdVxUUo/s1600/IMG_0039.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OwS2zBrBeng/Ty7_I8rhD3I/AAAAAAAAAgw/M0qfrdVxUUo/s320/IMG_0039.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705778307117682546" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AhaR1TH8fbY/Ty7_nAv_9rI/AAAAAAAAAhI/myPaY5rvcnE/s1600/IMG_0043.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AhaR1TH8fbY/Ty7_nAv_9rI/AAAAAAAAAhI/myPaY5rvcnE/s320/IMG_0043.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705778823606302386" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WmixgE0E-3I/Ty7_1eCGe-I/AAAAAAAAAhU/H6jpeH0BBNo/s1600/IMG_0044.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WmixgE0E-3I/Ty7_1eCGe-I/AAAAAAAAAhU/H6jpeH0BBNo/s320/IMG_0044.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705779071985023970" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3SjPckFuxjE/Ty8AFbU7erI/AAAAAAAAAhg/lUJZkRrCm-c/s1600/IMG_0045.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3SjPckFuxjE/Ty8AFbU7erI/AAAAAAAAAhg/lUJZkRrCm-c/s320/IMG_0045.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705779346136595122" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QQDkYZQaJ_g/Ty8ARwjz99I/AAAAAAAAAhs/18CwmisPq2o/s1600/IMG_0046.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QQDkYZQaJ_g/Ty8ARwjz99I/AAAAAAAAAhs/18CwmisPq2o/s320/IMG_0046.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705779557994592210" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NSAWGJ2Mxr4/Ty9xmVwLHeI/AAAAAAAAAi0/pjHOi62Y9IM/s1600/IMG_0041.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NSAWGJ2Mxr4/Ty9xmVwLHeI/AAAAAAAAAi0/pjHOi62Y9IM/s320/IMG_0041.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705904156389875170" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1e8po_49hMY/Ty8AeMpEMHI/AAAAAAAAAh4/VPcU0L6kMmg/s1600/IMG_0048.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1e8po_49hMY/Ty8AeMpEMHI/AAAAAAAAAh4/VPcU0L6kMmg/s320/IMG_0048.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705779771691249778" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1705272901078496226-2471669575817839396?l=stripesnsketches.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Julian Birchmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02974599627500782222noreply@blogger.com0
