Magic Mushrooms (No, not that kind).

  Even though I have been MIA since May, I've actually been busy with art.  I have a bad habit of hopping from medium to medium, curious on how it works and what I can do with it.  One that has stuck with me is Apoxie Sculpt.
  Apoxie Sculpt is a two part synthetic clay that self hardens.  I won't get into all the details about it but check this page if you want to know some more.
  Another obsession I've pick up is Mushrooms.  I've been painting, sculpting, growing (again that THOSE kind), and taking photos of mushrooms constantly.  Don't ask where it comes from because I haven't figured it out yet.
  Anyways that has ended up with me makings these little guys.



  The idea of the Mushroom Tree comes from the game Don't Starve that I play on occasion (when I don't have enough anger and frustration running through my system).  I liked their concepts but I wanted to make my own.  So I winged it with Apoxie Sculpt and it all went down hill from there.
  For a while there it didn't seem like I could stop.  I was have fun playing with the different types of trunks and mushroom caps I could combine.  There where quite a few flops but it was still fun making and learning.  Now I'm off again to continue my combine obsessions while trying to remember I need to come out of my cave every once in a while.
