Sockrates

April 18, 2010 by Michele

I have always thought of trying sculpting, but it’s a little beyond my budget. What could I “sculpt with” in this recycling box of mine… Hmmm… Let me think… Well, there are Lo’s old socks that I can’t bear to part with… Hmmm… No, I’m not losing it. No matter what people say…

Here he is! My sculpture! Made out of my husband’s old sport socks, some thread, a teensy bit of paint, and a tiny bit of glue.
I baptize him Sockrates…

    ?!?!?! WHO IS THIS?!?!?! I just stumbled in from image on more recent post. I have never even thought of using socks to build texture….geez that is such a cool idea! can you imagine this on a large scale? Maybe old towels would work too? Hmmmm……..

    I tend to read faces with teeth as aggressive, but somehow he strikes me as very friendly. Nice to meet you sockrates!
