You created this wooden unicorn using only a steak knife and a damn safety pin. O.o Serious talent chickie. How much would it cost to have something commissioned by you? Definetely interested if I got the cash. XD

Wow so intricate and delicate! Wonderful work, it reminds me a lot of those stylized suns (I have a bathroom decorated with them) I wonder what a counterpart "moon theme" would look like!

This is absolutely ridiculous, especially considering the 'tools' you used

Seriously, words can't describe. Da Vinci never did anything this awesome.

You are correct. I, now have a million tools and still I use the very basic ones I started out with. I'ts nic to meet you..........you can call me Jack

Hi, Jack! I'm starting a new small sculpt today, and I'll be using the same razor and pin I used last time. Large paper clips for an armature, too. I was afraid to start a new one without a set of dental tools, special wire, etc.

I do wish I had a heat gun and toaster oven, though. But I'll get by without them, I'm sure.

jshapeshifter In reply to suedonym [2010-07-19 19:04:13 +0000 UTC]

Heat guns are great! I use one very often. Just be careful not to burn your piece, it happens very fast. Be sure to let me know when you are satified with and show it to me. And feel free to read my DA Interview, the link is on my profile page. Good luck!! Talk to you later, jack
