And it was in the show Um Actually and the error of the statement is that that's not what the actual story is at all.

Look back month day 24: glass

This is Bungle the Glass cat, from L Frank Baum’s Oz series. Her brains are made of pink marbles; you can see ‘‘em work!

She’s not exactly the correct scale by Dorothy, but then that’s not the Dorothy doll for the set I’m making. She just had the right dress and was roughly the same size. My final Dorothy is in progress.

I am so happy with the little beads for pink marble brains, even though they migrated into her ears.

Tbh it my be a stretch to call this looking back, since I only finally finished her a few weeks ago, and didn’t get around to posting before the challenge started. But it has been a years long process.

1. Search for glass or otherwise clear cats in roughly Barbie scale

2. Attempt to sculpt out of translucent polymer clay

3. Attempt to sculpt out of clear worbla beads

4. Attempt to find a non-clear Barbie scale cat, roughly symmetrical for ease of mold making

5. Attempt to make molds

6. Find cat molds online and order

7. Leave molds and resin on shelf for over a year because I was nervous

8. First attempt, as you can see, is more bubble than resin

9. Victory! But maybe I’ll try again someday for brains that don’t go into the ears
