Antes de empezar a escribir este post, me gustaria aclarar que en mi casa hace mucho calor y es por ello que tuve que acelerar el paso mas de lo que me gustaria, teniendo asi que omitir ciertos pasos. Sin mencionar que las luces necesarias para tomar mejores fotos tampoco ayudan mucho con esto, entonces de ante mano pido disculpas si este post no cumple con ciertos requerimientos de la comunidad, de igual manerá decidí hacerlo, ya que me gustó el resto.
Before I start writing this post, I would like to clarify that it is very hot in my house and that is why I had to speed up the pace more than I would like, thus having to omit certain steps. Not to mention that the lights necessary to take better photos do not help much with this either, so I apologize in advance if this post does not meet certain requirements of the community, I decided to do it anyway, since I liked the rest.
Hola, hoy al fin llegó mi pedido, un pequeño paquete de plastilina de 12 colores que pedí para poder participar en este interesante concurso, ya estaba asustado porque pensaba que no me iba a dar tiempo jaja. No tengo absolutamente ninguna experiencia haciendo cosas con plastilina, aunque en mi cabeza ya existia una idea clara desde que me enteré del concurso, haremos una especie de muestrario en un envase de vidrio.
Hello, today my order finally arrived, a small package of 12-color clay that I asked for to be able to participate in this interesting contest, I was already scared because I thought I wasn't going to have time haha. I have absolutely no experience making things with plasticine, although in my head there was already a clear idea since I found out about the contest, we will make a kind of sampler in a glass container.
Para este proyecto decidí como dije anteriormente, utilizar un envase de vidrio y aunque me hubiera gustado poder trabajar en el otro extremo del envase, se volveria muy engorroso tomar las fotografias para el tutorial, asi que decidí hacerlo en la tapa, iniciando con una capa fina de plastilina marron, a la cual en la parte de abajo le coloqué una bola de papel. Esto será el suelo de nuestra escena.
For this project I decided as I said before, to use a glass container and although I would have liked to be able to work on the other end of the container, it would become very cumbersome to take the photographs for the tutorial, so I decided to do it on the lid, starting with a layer thin brown plasticine, to which I placed a ball of paper at the bottom. This will be the floor of our scene.
El siguiente paso que hice, fué hacer una lamina de dos verdes, uno encima de otro, el cual corté con pequeñas tiras, con la intencion de hacer algo parecido a la grama de un estadio, obviamente no funcionó como lo tenia pensado, tal vez de haberla congelado y luego haberla cortado en pequeños cuadros hubiera sido mejor, lo tendré en mente para la proxima.
The next step I did was to make a sheet of two greens, one on top of the other, which I cut with small strips, with the intention of making something similar to the grass of a stadium, obviously it did not work as I had thought, maybe having frozen it and then cutting it into small squares would have been better, I'll keep that in mind for the next one.
Al final y como dije, no quedó con el efecto que queria, aunque igual te lo muestro para decirte que aunque parezca que estoy dejando un borde por error, es porque ahi va a encajar el envase de vidrio, etonces hay que dejar un pequeño borde a modo de margen. Y como curiosidad, incluso mis huellas dactilares quedan marcadas en plastilina
In the end and as I said, it did not have the effect that I wanted, although I will still show it to you to tell you that although it seems that I am leaving an edge by mistake, it is because the glass container is going to fit there, so you have to leave a small edge as a margin. And as a curiosity, even my fingerprints are marked in plasticine
Por otro lado, elegí hacer un oso, cosa que obviamente jamas habia hecho, aunque si he visto Cake Boss, donde hacen figuras con chocolate para moldear y decoran pasteles y una de las cosas que noté es que dentro usan una estructura de alambre, asi que hice eso, corté un clip y lo meti dentro para unir el cuerpo con la cabeza
On the other hand, I chose to make a bear, which obviously I had never done before, although I have seen Cake Boss, where they make figures with chocolate to mold and decorate cakes and one of the things I noticed is that they use a wire structure inside, so that I did that, I cut a clip and put it inside to join the body with the head
A modo de sorpresa, solo lo mostraré asi, sin decirles que es lo rojo con forma de zanahoria, tambien decir que como ven al fondo, con la plastilina que me sobró hice un pequeño arbusto, que parece que no, pero si cambia bastante la perspectiva del suelo, mejora bastante o tal vez sea que la imagen se ve borrosa y en el fondo
As a surprise, I will only show it like this, without telling you what the carrot-shaped red is, also saying that as you can see in the background, with the plasticine that was left over I made a small bush, which seems not, but it does change the perspective of the ground, it improves a lot or maybe it is that the image is blurred and in the background
Basicamente lo rojo con forma de zanahoria es la pierna de un señor que terminó en el lugar equivocado en el momento equivocado, asi basicamente es como quedó al final, se que no es lo mas realista del mundo y es por eso que rindo mis respetos enteros a los que se dedican a esto, merece mucha dedicacion conseguir resultados realistas y profesionales
Basically the red carrot-shaped thing is the leg of a man who ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time, that's basically how it turned out in the end, I know it's not the most realistic thing in the world and that's why I pay my full respects To those who dedicate themselves to this, it deserves a lot of dedication to achieve realistic and professional results.
Ahora, si tu te preguntas por que quise hacerlo en un envase, es por cuestion de higiene y hacer algo aun mas curioso, creo que llama mas la atencion un barco en una botella que sin la botella, esto es lo mismo para mi, ver un envase de vidrio con algo dentro llama la atencion y la gente se acercaria a verlo y al hacerlo, no podrian ensuciarlo, tocarlo o modificarlo de ninguna manera, es por eso que lo hice.
Now, if you are wondering why I wanted to do it in a container, it is for hygiene reasons and to do something even more curious, I think a boat in a bottle attracts more attention than without the bottle, this is the same for me, see A glass container with something inside draws attention and people would come to see it and by doing so, they would not be able to dirty it, touch it or modify it in any way, that's why I did it.
