Lately, I have had a new interest - self-hardening clay. I've been wondering what to make with it. I don't want another jewelry bowl with a leaf imprinted on it and other dummies that are abundant on pinterest. That's how the head of Lenka, my cat, was created.
I remembered how much fun it is to sculpt.
I used to go to the sculpture studio at my high school every Saturday, well over half my life ago, and spent hours there. There I had an unlimited amount of clay. I remember my Professor, a tiny, elderly lady and her very worn, unusually strong hands and.... cats. There were a dozen of them in our studio. The professor used to feed all the neighborhood cat woes.
If someone had told me back then that one day I would have a dozen cats living with me in my house, I would have said that in any case, I would never be that crazy.
Back to Lenka's head. I decided to paint her a little to emphasize the texture.
It came out cool. I'm satisfied.
