Welcome to #feetofclay!

We are a group of sculptors who mold things into other things! Polymer, sculpey, bread dough, marble, what have you. If it's three-dimensional and and you used your hands to make it, you belong here, to share your wares with others.

What does the name mean? Disney Legend Mary Blair was famously quoted for saying that no work of art can be perfect, and one of her Easter Eggs displaying this theory is the mystical five-legged goat on a huge mural at Disney's Contemporary Resort in Florida. Having "feet of clay" is a slight nod to that philosophy, and according to thefreedictionary.com, "if you say that someone you admire has feet of clay, you mean they have hidden faults. 'Some of the greatest geniuses in history had feet of clay.'"

So, no, Patrick Stewart probably isn't going to look at my clay sculpture of Jean-Luc Picard and wonder if he's looking in a mirror, but it was fun to make, and making things makes me happy.

If you feel the same way, please join this group and spread the awesome sculptures to the community!
