I would love to see more! They’re so adorable, but I missed out on them when they were in the store 🙁

I think that’s Melody asking a question that got lost in all the quotes? 🙂
Um, depending on what you’re trying to glue the sculpy to, I’ve had decent luck with:
*The thick, white glue sold in the plastic brown bottles: It’s better if both pieces of your work are roughed up a little bit before you glue them together.
*super glue (um, it’s called E6000 I think): this stuff bubbles up quite a bit so it’s definately for things that wont’ be seen on your work. It smells awful too, but it is pretty strong once dried.
*High-temp Hot glue: very limited uses where this works well. I pretty much only use it when I’ve got holes in sculpy that I’m putting wires in or something, and use the hot glue to fill in the gaps between the sculpy and the wire.I think the first glue you mentioned is Tacky Glue. There’s also fast-setting epoxy (the kind that you mix together, like this one). It also stinks to high heaven but I haven’t found anything that it couldn’t bond permanently! I haven’t tried it on clay, but I use it a lot on resin kits. In fact, I recently used it to glue this very top-heavy model to a wooden base (and she’s standing tip-toe on one foot!). She won’t be coming off of that base now unless I break her off of it.

Looks great! I think I like the white fur on it, like you said. Something really light and pastel-y, anyway. As for the antiquing…hmm. You need something that won’t detract from the brightness/colorfulness – maybe something on the reddish side, like a deep fuschia?

Oh, I know what you mean – the eyes are usually the hardest part for me, too. Plus, I don’t have an airbrush to really soften the skin tones, which is a bit of a pain. But the price is just irresistible sometimes! 🙂
Oh, wow, that’s gorgeous! I really like the bluish-purple and gold…kind of like an early morning sky..
I’m glad your grandmother did well! As far as stress levels go, one thing that helps me out a lot is to just take slow, deep breaths as often as you can – concentrate on breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth. It does wonders! Also, even just a few minutes a day of relaxing meditation or T’ai Chi can help a lot, imo.
