On some of Señor Salme’s inabilities

Many many months ago I bought a cheap clay package with the ambitious intention of crafting an scapula model to be used as reference. It was no super sculpey nor any fancy clay, just regular clay. Having no experience in clay modeling whatsoever, it took me little time to get convinced that I would not even be able to shape something close to a meatball.

Today I found that clay package, wich was carefully closed but still getting hard as stone and unusable. After moistening gently and kneading for a good while I was able to get… mmm, this. A big leap forward, though it doesn’t resembles much of a scapula yet.
