Working on Paper Clay While Traveling

As crazy as it might seem, I like to sculpt paper clay when I travel. Like while I am traveling. In a car, on a bus, on a train or airplane. I take along clay that I have already rolled out and cover it with plastic. Then I take my designs on tracing paper. I take a few tools, a small cup for water and extra plastic to use under the clay while I am working on it.

When I get home I can adhere my clay pieces to a larger work and finish it. This piece is another in my series called Letting Go. To see others in the series, check my gallery under Paper Clay Folk Art and Mixed Media Paintings

I did this while on the Amtrak train from Seattle to Portland. I carry two small boards to sandwich them between so I can keep them flat.
