This craft was inspired by two things: my short term desire to make something with materials I already have, and my long term goal of eventually having a digestive system themed powder room.<\/p>\n
The plaque I got years ago at a craft store, with the intention of making an Easter Bunny taxidermy. I spray painted the unfinished plaque light green. I tried to spray paint it metallic gold but I think the can was frozen.<\/p>\n
The digestive system itself is made from Scupty. I have a lot of polymer clay, but I find any brand other than Scupty unworkable. I traced a very simplified digestive system on regular lined paper, in the size I wanted for the final result. I built the sculpty right on top of the drawing, using it as guidance for the proportion and shape. \u00a0I transferred the sculpture (?) to a cookie sheet lined with foil for baking.<\/p>\n
After the Sculpy was cooked and cooled, I painted it with acrylic paint. The whole thing was then glued to the plaque. A saw tooth hanger is in the plans-but since it wasn’t a material I already own, it hasn’t made it to this project!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
