A gentler sgian (handle)

**JS Sanders** · 12th August 08, 03:04 PM

For those who don't appreciate the graceful beauty of snakes, here's something entirely different.

I sculpted this sgian handle from SuperSculpey polymer clay & a single piece of white oak. Into the goo and soon a solid mold is made.

This was poured less than an hour ago using polyurethane left over from another project. It is a one piece figurine. The indentations are marks for the attachment of copper 'rivets'. Not 'ribbits'.

Actively working on a 'longneck beer bottle'-handled sgian dubh-brew.

Roadkill frog doesn't usually cast well. Nice job on the sculpture... Too cute!

Naw - they're too dang flattened.

OK I'm not sure what to make of this one!

Don't be so analytical.

It's art... let it flow around and over you.

Cool JS I like it. It would definately be a unique look sticking out of the top of your hose.

Thank you. That's the idea. Kilties like unusual & affordable sgians.

That is going to look cool. I like the idea of the frog looking out from above the sock top.
Are you planning to paint the frog to look more lifelike?
