Poly Carving
Poly sheets and blocks
I love poly carving, it's messy and you can create an impact so quickly. The Fat Cat foot stool has a wooden base & legs and then I used sheets of poly to build up the body. The Owl was carved out of a single block. The Rocks were for the miniature model making project and were used on the set and created from sheets of poly.
