Excellent! Thanks for clarifying that Go-go. I think when you JUST post "Hey, look what I'm working on", alot of people don't realize that you are working on a piece you have molded from an existing object, or from pieces that you already had molds for, and they mistakingly think you sculpted it yourself from scratch. I feel this does a disservice to the sculptors on TC like Babalu, Squid, Bowana, Stuckie, etc. who do just start with a blob of clay. I, along with the other artists I'm sure, really do appreciate you being more forthcoming about your process. You're awesome! Thanks. By the way, I bought some clay from ceramic art space and ran across the mermaid bisque on their website you used to make a mold from, and you're right, they did make her look like Ariel.
