(From and e-mail in December 2002. See more pictures below.) Aves Apoxie Sculpt has opened many new artistic doors for me. I have been a polymer clay artist for five years and and have felt restricted in my artistic visions until now. This new found product has enabled me to broaden my creative challenges. I now incorporate Apoxie Sculpt to the “exterior” sculpts on my dolls. Before, I primarily used Apoxie Sculpt on the underlying armatures for strength, but have mastered this wonderful product and use it whenever I can. It can be used alone or with polymer clays.
After the Apoxie has completely dried, I can add more Apoxie to build up the sculpt desired. You can even apply Apoxie Sculpt over or onto cured polymer clays. After the entire piece is dry, I sand, drill, carve and paint. You can even paint the Apoxie when it is wet! For those of us that are concerned about fragile areas of the doll (i.e...hands, ears, nose, feet...the list goes on), Apoxie Sculpt dries hard as cement. This would be a huge plus when shipping our dolls.
Once you master this wonderful product, your sculpting abilities will never be hampered again. Anything is possible if you have the correct tools. Jean Bernard |
