The sculpturing turned out to be a bit of a hassle. I did get the proportions right but I was to delicate and wasting time looking at my never drying head o neck. The sculpture clay was easy to work with and fun since it is done fast and is plenty flexible. I swiftly found the forms but never the expression. I sat there for hours looking clueless twisting out a couple of lips, couple of failed attempts so I turned to pressing holes for eyes. Gave me a microscopic sensation of joy since we all know how to make two holes in something soft I decided to not over do my excitement for this project and after some time I got one eye in *text book style*. My problem was simply that I created a form which was not even done and handled it as if it was made of gold, stupidly I should just grow a set of balls and dig in and alter as much as needed.

Stand Alone Complex: cyber ninja
After the agony of not even getting one detail right, not even able to capture a single essence of Bettina’s face I decided to cover it all up, good old childish destruction style. The game was over. I had failed to create a minor resembling sculpture of Bettina and I was too scared to even touch it instead of going nuts and getting a feel for it. There for I was destined to create a "Bettina Cyber Nin"... It had all the essential ninja gear: Mask, hood even a damn eye patch but no sight of Bettina anywhere...
...failure has a funny taste.
