Well, had the sculpting class yesterday, with the brilliant Anne Swain.
I learnt so much, especially in the fact that the forms can be so much more versatile than just plonking them on a finger. Anne showed us how we can cut the forms to fit someone with a naturally square smile line, how use two forms to make it extra-wide for thumbs or toes.. and also, how to get a really snug fit.
We were told what nails were good for sculpts and what nails weren't and she showed us her own excellent techniques.
I must say tho'.. I was disappointed with my own efforts on my model.. I haven't "done nails" in a while due to the demands of my day job, and was a little out of touch... And whilst I knew that sculpting would be difficult to start with I was also very let down by my smiles lines, normally I do pretty good smile lines, but in my sculpted set they were almost frowning!

So, yes it was a great learning curve and I enjoyed it, but it has hi-lighted the fact that I need to get some serious practice in.
Anne suggested that I get a Saturday job in a Salon to get my product application and my speed up to scratch, which will build my confidence up and get me out of bad habits. - I am going to pursue that in the new year.
Hey ho!
