How much do I love the 21st century?

See this plastic plant pot?
I made it. Not using a 3D printer, but with my own two hands and some Plastimake supplied by a workmate.

It's a bit rough but it was my first try at using this fabulous modelling compound which you soften with hot water then mould into shape before letting air dry*.

Our workplace art group is playing with it more on Thursday. I'l be sure to show you what other miniature uses I think up for it...

(*Even better, if you're not happy with the end result, just dunk it back into the hot water and use again for something else!)

  2. Dagnabbit...someone gave me a pack of that stuff ages ago and I didn't have the sense to use it in miniature. Cool vase =0)

  4. Very Cool! I used something like that a couple of years ago to make fangs for a Halloween costume.

  5. This century has developed so many things that one cannot even imagine and as a result the world is at a great growth.
