Sculpt a Face "Just for Fun" in WED Clay

Last week I accidentally stumbled onto a new way to sculpt faces, and I'm having so much fun with it that I had to share it with you. These clay faces are not portraits, and not "right" in any way - but that's what makes them so much fun.

In the video you'll see that I just grab a lump of WED clay from the bag, check to see if it already has an almost-mouth or nose or eyes, and if I don't see anything face-like in the clay I keep squashing and folding it until something shows up. In this case, it was a mouth. Then I start adding to it, always trying to let the clay do most of the work.

No expectations, no "right" way to do it, (and no "wrong" way, either!). It's just for fun.

Let me know what you think of this idea. Do you ever think of art as a form of meditation or therapy?
