Fin juillet et début août, je suis allé voir mon amie Christine (et sa Luna) à Pau (Béarn)...

Une nouvelle balade à Claracq, et son musée consacré à la villa gallo-romaine de Lalonquette (1er s. apr. J-C. - Ve s.), qui se trouve à peu de distance.

Spent five to six hours on this only for it to look less like half of a heart and more like something I don't want to describe. I might have to give explanations in class.

Fav part of the piece is the back of the hand because, despite being the easiest thing to sculpt, I feel like it's the part that came out looking the best. I'd draw that. I might draw that.

The fingers came out a little too long because I tried to sculpt them using my own fingers' measures for reference. I made clay sausages and cut them into smaller sausages that I would later join with little balls that'd act as the fingers' joints, thus allowing me to bend them. Problem is, I cut them with my own fingers' joints included, so each finger measures the same as mine + two clay little balls.

I wanted to shape the hand like half of a heart so I could complete the heart using my own hands (hence why I used myself for reference), but uh. I bent the fingers a little too much so yeah</3 no coherent heart for me. I shall now cry myself to sleep/j

I'm fully aware that the thumb came out way too long for the same reason as the rest of the fingers did, but it's already 1am and I refuse to give up tonight's sleep just to shorten some little sausages.

I feel like I'm using a bit of an apathetic tone in this post but the truth is I had fun sculpting that!! And I had fun pointing out its deformities, too. It might be a beautiful piece of trash, but it's MY beautiful piece of trash and it's gonna get me a decent grade. Probably. I hope it does.

I didn't even realize I had spent the equivalent of an entire school day on it holy shit xD
