*Sigh* I feel like I wasted the day. Instead of cleaning the house, or job hunting, or doing anything really productive... I spent the day playing with Sculpey clay, trying to make an action figure of one my original characters with moveable parts...
It didnt' quite work. Sculpey is not good for making things moveable... it breaks too easily after baking. The head I made came out good, so I salvaged the project by taking it, sculpting more components, and making it a mini-bust.
The character is the main character from my webcomic, Quar Magnus. The handle of his sword is made with a real chicken wing bone (He has two bone handled swords in his comic, but they aren't chicken bones there.)
So, here he is, scanned. He's sitting on my computer desk top shelf with my Trigun mini busts.

How true! You did a good job...^^ Clay for me is very hard to work with...
I think it's nifty how you used the chicken bone! 
BOOSTER: Hey, No.1! Where's my cake?!
SNIFIT 1: Booster, Sir! There's a 70% chance the object you're standing on is a cake.
BOOSTER: What? THIS thing's a cake?

(in response to an interview question "Do you have a pet peeve having to do with this biz?")
People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

That looks very hard to do. I think you did a great job.^-^
[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE
You see into the deepest part of me ---
beyond the fog I hide behind.
You cast your light upon the shadows
that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.
You ease the pain when I am hurting,
and morbid visions from my past
pierce into the realm of Reason
as though I danced on blades of glass.
You grant me strength when I have fallen
and, once again, I've lost my way.
You take my hand in Yours and lead me
into the promise of a brand new day.
You bring order to all my chaos,
yet set my well-laid plans awry.
You place me on a firm foundation ---
then give me wings so I can fly.
You sand away my roughened edges
and polish all the dullest parts
until I stand before Your presence...
a newly-sculpted work of art.
You see into the heart within me,
right through my motives and selfish will.
And yet, in spite of all You see
You say You love me even still.

Yes, excellent job! Sculpey is an excellent medium to work with. More and more I'm finding myself dishing out the extra money to get Super Sculpey. It's a little more of a challenge to work with, but the final product is well worth it. I'd like to see more!

I'll back that one up. Having only worked briefly with it, I'm not an expert on that side, but I've seen some really cool stuff done with it
