Scotch eggs, Primal style (no breading), over kale lightly sauteed in olive oil.

For some reason every time I look at this sculpt I think of this.

His beak doesn't look all crooked like that in real life. I think it the shadow making it look off.

I want a baby gryphon so I am sculpting one. The wood "egg" he's on is just a temp armature to make him easier to hold as I sculpt.

Honestly, I don't know how people can make such lovely stuff from Super Sculpey. I've leached this stuff twice and it's still too soft. Lesson learned...I'll be using Sculpey Firm or a mix of the two from now on.

I just learned about hotdishes a couple weeks ago on Bizarre Foods America. Having been raised Lutheran some tiny part of that upbringing, the casserole part, haunted me until I made my own hotdish.

I did go non-traditional and didn't use the "Lutheran Binder" of mushroom soup. I did a egg binder (quiche, basically) with Italian sausage, and sauteed onions, green peppers and sharp cheddar. Baked for about 15 minutes and added the tater tots for the crust and baked until done.

It is a beautiful, heart-destroying thing.

Roughing in more detail. Need to fix up those brows. I also need to come up with a name for this new species I'm creating. :D
