I tried my first sculpture this week and ran into a classic first timer problem... I did the sculpt around a piece of PVC pipe, and didn't remove the pipe in time so it shrunk and cracked :( I read somewhere that you could use objects to sculpt around, but guess I didn't read about pulling them out before your clay dries! I saw your styrofoam trick just now, good idea! Here he is: And here are some of his cracks. Oh well, learning!
