Buying plasticine:
Alistair has suggested Echersley's which offer a 20% student discount and have 24 packs of FIMO for $58.70

I has experimented with cups. I staple them, easiest thing to do. But since the cups taper they curve a little, you just have to staple them at different lengths. >_> You kind of have to tailor them. I might have to make them in the room, the one I've made so far is getting too big
Nice structure!
ReplyDeleteClear white plastic cups could be even better- so that images or textures may be projected onto them...
This is what you need: www.kookaburra.com.au/ProdView.aspx?Product=ZQU81930 black plasticine. This used to be available at my local art shop; maybe Eckersly's has this... fimo will be too expensive.
ReplyDeleteI think I saw that exact product in Caulfield bookshop for about $5 something each? They only have a few black ones though.
ReplyDeleteI called around and these were the prices I got for black plasticene:
Eckersley's = $5.50 for 500g
Dean's Art = $4.50 for 500g
Riot! Art = 3 for $10, 350g each (this w/end only, otherwise its more expensive...)
;____; isn't there anything cheaper?
ReplyDeletethink 500g is enough for two people? Then I could get 10 from eckerlsy's and get that 20% student discount
Yeah I think 250g per person should be sufficient.
ReplyDeleteAnd Dean's Art has a student discount policy as well, 10%. So it works out to $40.50 compared to $44 at Eckersley's. Save $3.50, not much difference. Just depends where you can get to.
The cup sculpture looks beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteespecially when it is being looked from the bottom >w<
May be we can hang it up at the ceiling so tat ppl can see it from the bottom ?? @v@
Looks like bubbles. But somehow it reminds me of a pig's intestine... hahaha ^^;;
ReplyDeletehope we can make it bigger, looks good so far :3 but staples? ._. mm guess can't tell from the photo...or from far away.
