Sculpting time- Catching hidden beauty!

Finally, I can show my first real sculpting project! While I tried my hand on some smaller projects the last few weeks, I was also working on this one! I watched like a million videos on how to sculpt, how to work with clay and to get some ideas before I finally knew what my first real project should be. 

Sometimes, during the progress of making something you realize things and, yes, I realized something while making this piece! For some reason I like to draw, paint and or create in ant way, hidden faces. It did not take me long to know I do this because I am also used to hiding my own face. While I am learning to step outside my own bubble and show myself , I find myself hiding faces more and more in my art! 

Is this my inner self screaming to hide myself again? Or is this my inner self working in the idea that I am no longer hiding? 

I find it fascinating to ask myself these questions because it makes me think deeper and by that I am starting to really know myself better. 

For this project I am working with air hardening clay as shown in the picture ^.
It's not expensive and it is nice and wet and easy to sculpt. I bought this as a shop called the Action and as a special surprice I got a few extra packs from my mom! She likes to spoil me and make sure I have enough crafting materials! 

On youtube I saw people use aluminium foil and seeing I had some of that as well, I used it to create the base of my sculpture. I also used a little bit of water and a clay knife. Other than that, I only used lots of time. 

Here are the progress pictures! 

Sadly, I got so caught up in sculpting that I forgot to take pictures of the moment I made the face. If you look closer you will see a nose and a mask hidden behind the hair. 

Overall, I really enjoy this new craft and I am sure I am going to make more!
