Expanding foam love!

by Benni | Dec 1, 2010

As always I’m still busy, but I’m not able to keep on working on only one project. I love to carve expanding foam, to form armor with wonderflex or to sew a new robe and I wish, I would have a clone, he he! So, one day I create an armor piece for my Demon...

Busy, busy!

Some questions?

by Benni | Sep 15, 2010

In the last time I got some questions about the materials I use. It’s hard for me, to find the right meaning or the right words for a specific material, because I just don’t know if it’s the right one or not. So, I want to show you some pictures!...
