I decided to some sculptures by covering sugar cubes with wood glue, and one using spar varnish instead of glue. Not the brightest idea I've ever had - these are taking me forever. I've been working on these four small sculptures for about two years & they aren't really done - probably never will be. The sugar cubes really absorb the other materials, so it takes layer upon layer upon layer & I still don't have the effect I was looking for. And I have to apply layers to each side separately because they have to dry flat, so with six sides every layer takes a week. So anyway here are some poor quality photos of these things in their current condition.
