2011.02.08.tad: pet rock

i have to admit i feel a bit lame posting this for today, but i am still sick and had a long day on top of that. i didn't really want to make anything today but decided to push through it. i decided that i wanted to make a pet rock using a piece of sea glass, but when i looked at my collection, none of them seemed suitable. i also didn't have any googly eyes, not that it's essential. in the end, i decided to make one out of sculpey:

pet rock

i wanted it to have a marbled surface, which it sort of has, but i didn't work at it or try to control it that much. there is a piece of aluminum foil inside to help fill it out, and i tried to make the details neater than my football sculpey. i haven't baked it yet but will. i will probably glaze it after baking to give it a shinier, marble-like quality.
