Day 05 of 29: Mini Sculpey™ Avocado day 1
My pal dissed my Super Sunday breakfast plan (can-o-hash) and she must craft me a felty can of hash as “penance.” I agreed to make her some ittybitty avocados to be nice. It will be a mulit-day Thing-a-day project. Here’s the proto-Sculpey™ avocado.
Got the texture from pressing pre-fired avo-blob against old man REAL avocado (not pictured.)
Here they all are … safety razor in for scale. There are two halves w/ pits to be glued on later. I’ll carve out the voids from the opposite halves too. There is also a whole avo w/ its crazy semi-side stem.
First coat of acrylic paint. The skin gets dioxidine purple that I’ll go over with a different dark color. I swear I see purple in old man REAL avocado’s skin. OOF split pits got a mix of hansa yellow and raw sienna first. Thus endeth TAD Day 5 of 29 / avo.dev day 1.
Peace out!
