Pan has hands

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012 at 1:55 pm

Pan now has two little hands made out of hard wax that I had to keep warming in the toaster oven to make it workable. (Did I melt a hand I’d nearly finished? Yep!) I’m about 90% happy with them. Fingernails and all!

And I now have a lot of respect for people who make detailed small models. It’s a way to go crouched and crosseyed. I always wondered why sculptors like making big abstract lumps. Now I know!

    Hooray for hands with which to play pan-pipes!

    This was my immediate imagined fear. I wonder how many golems and homunculi ended up with mitten-hands because their creators got fed up with sculpting?

    I so don’t know how to answer that.

    I come back to this entry expecting (and receiving, to be fair) golems and such with lovable gingerbread-man hands, and WHERE do I find the rest of the comment thread has gone…?
