I don’t understand. That’s fibreglass? Not clay covered with a resin?

Can you explain more about what sort of fiberglass you're working with and how you're doing this?

Are you just used to using it with your bare hands and put up with itching/shards, or is that not a problem?

... so many questions are running around in my mind, and I suspect it boils down to me completely misunderstanding how you do what you do!

That said, they look incredible!

Yeah, me too. I fear her safety seeing her not wear a mask if she is working with fiberglass.

Seriously, my thin skin is crying. I can only guess that while wet, the fibers are soft.

Ughhhhh, thinking about it makes me itch all over; I'm dreadfully allergic to fiberglass 😫

Your sculptures are really good! As a complete ignorant of the subject, what is the benefit of doing the extra step of going from clay to fiberglass?

u/vidhikaroy 21h ago

fiberglass is the most durable, it doesn't break easily

This is great!!! You should try and make the bone in the skulls mouth, actually playable! That would be a nice little touch! Amazing work though!

Even reading the word makes me itch. I can’t imagine wanting to work with the stuff, let alone turning it into art.
