My Sculpture of Twig and Wonder—Finished!

It started out as a horse-like blob . . .

and turned into a unicorn . . .

who needed some ground to stand on.

First I baked the unicorn, then I baked the ground. I used Sculpey’s Bake and Bond to glue them together, then baked some more.

But what’s a unicorn without a rider? I sculpted Twig, then used Bake and Bond to bake her onto her unicorn, propping the whole thing with cotton balls during baking.

I painted the sculpture with watered-down acrylic craft paint.

I added some dark, super fine glitter to give Wonder the “quicksilver eyes” I describe in the book.

“They glided through the mist, leaving Twig’s troubles on the ground. Wonder was a streak of white, Twig’s jacket no longer a shell, but a wave of bright red, her hair flowing like Wonder’s mane and tail.”
