| 21 Dec 2003 | Veronica 'Virre' Tenglin | Beautiful gallery! I would like myself to start with sculptures of clay, but I really don't know where to start... What kind of clay do you use? Where do you get the clothes from? Textile-shops? Or the hobby-store? And the hair?  Thanks for your answer  //Vee  Steph Laberis replies: "The kind of clay I used for the puppets (except the mouse/rattie) was Super Sculpey, the infamous, strong oven-hardening clay. The mouse's head is Paper Clay, another super-strong and light weight clay which air dries. The mouse's hands and feet are epoxy putty, which hardens like steel (it had to be that strong so I could animate her). I made the clothes from scratch but just looking at a normal-size kimono pattern online and scaling it down. I just got the fabric at a fabric mill.If you really wanna get started, the book I reccomend for you is "Fantastic Figues" by Susan Oryan (spelling?). It has wonderful how-tos on sculpting, making bodies, clothes, etc.Email me if you wanna know more! And THANK YOU for the comment!" | |
| 29 Dec 2003 | Marie Therese Montero | *bows* I just love your works! I wanted to sculpt... but i don't think we have the materials in this country. (or, well, i just might not be looking harder. lol) Your creations are inspiring, tho! Very expressive and lively.. | |
| 31 Jul 2005 | Sabrinames | Awesome gallery you have here. | |
| 8 Mar 2006 | George Doutsiopoulos | I really enjoyed the whole of your gallery. Your ideas and creations are very imaginative and vibrant. Keep up the excellent work! | |
| 14 Jan 2007 | Michelle A. Morone | Wow, excellent work! I just happened to catch one of your pieces from the "random" section on the frontpage. Your level of detail and expression really is extraordinary.
(And here's an odd/random question: Are you the same Steph from ConceptArt? If so... I love your work -there- too.) | |
