Well, I was without internet access all weekend, so you’d think I would have gotten some more work done, but alas, that was not the case.
Anyway, the point of this entry was this: I’m sitting here working with some sculpey at the moment, and it made me remember this incident a few years ago.
It was back in early 2002, when Ash and I were working on her Yuna costume. We were at my grandmother’s in Jackson for the weekend, and wanted to get some work done on it. We had decided to make her beads out of sculpey. Neither of us were all that experienced with it at the time, but we had used it before with some degree of success, so we didn’t expect it to be all that hard.
What we didn’t expect was that my grandmother’s oven was different from my own. What would have worked for sculpey in my oven just fine – well, let’s just say my grandmother’s oven is very powerful, LOL.
It did something somewhat strange to the sculpey though, instead of just burning and shrinking or what I would have thought it would do, it made the beads puff up and turn a disgusting brown colour (they were white originally).
So can you guess what they looked like when we rescued them from the oven?
That’s right, we ended up with sculpey poop.
We ended up taking the sculpey poop with us to Otakon, and I think even MTAC that year, too. Our “plan” was to sit it out in the middle of a crowded hallway, hide, and see what people’s reactions would be. We never did get a chance to do that, we mostly just threw them at each other or tried to hide it where the other person would find it.
Sadly, the sculpey poop eventually disappeared. I don’t know where it went.
The end.
