From my Intermediate Painting class. The assignment was to make a painting without using paint, brushes, or canvas. So...I bought some Play-Doh and grabbed this old Formica shelf.

This is still a sort of work in progress...when I started, it was of lofty ambitions of a kind of Play-Doh Pointillism. But I don't know if I'll ever get around to it.
...Oh, and ifwhenever it's done, I have some vague plan of covering it in resin to make it all stick.

When I saw this in my updates I thought it was paint.

YOU ARE VERY CREATIVE.

Der Sensenmann Says:

This is wicked creative.
Your style in itself is very complex and unique, and the simple fact that you were able to retain it with this model is incredible.
I can't wait to see the finished project.

I hope you finish because that looks awesome!


Reminds me one girl I knew made a mold her her hand using plaster and cloth. Then made a small clay fetus and had the hand coming out of the canvas holding the baby.
