Ever since I drew for you guys, you've all been asking
you know, well, that was great. That's 2D, but what can you do in 3D?
Can you sculpt or anything like that?
Well, one trip to the art supply store later,
voila! Play-Doh, everybody.
From your Play-Dude. What?
(music)
Alright, so what should we make? (VO) An octopus.
(Tommy) I've never really touched one of those, but I know a little about them
I know that they've got, ah, eight tentacles.
And they are in the sea. That's all I know really.
I don't know much else about them. So, let's try and make one.
What do you say? Okay, we'll open this baby up.
(cap pops off) What a sound it makes. That's the sound of freshness!
So, we'll start to make our octopus body, I guess, right?
I haven't touched this stuff in a very long time. It feels strange.
It's like, I haven't felt anything this texture, you know what I mean. So it's sort of
mushy and it's... I mean, to be able to move, like to put my fingers
in something and then take them out and you can see
where my fingers were. It's almost like playing with chewing gum.
Is that weird, but - you know the way gum does things in your mouth
like, you bite into it and then you can feel your teeth marks
and stuff in the gum, so it's almost like chewing gum for my fingers
if that makes any sense at all. So, I guess an octopus
would be sort of like a... ah, listen, I imagine
sort of a blob with things sticking out of it. Tentacles.
So let's make ourselves a nice sea blob, okay?
We'll just mold here and shape. (music starts)
(music continues)
Alright, so I'm just going to put a little face on him. Right?
A little octopus... so there's his eyes. He's weird with eyes
sort of on the side. Well, that's kind of nice, isn't it?
We'll make a little nose for you.
Wow, two nostrils right... (gasp)
that's pretty good. See a blob with an adorable face.
Huh? You'd bring home to meet mother, wouldn't you?
So let's put some tentacles on this baby.
So now we'll just brake off some things here. Here's a piece of Play-Doh.
We'll make a tentacle.
Oh, this is going to be terrific.
How am I going to put eight of these stupid things on?
Oh, there's one. I know how.
Just molding it between my hands so that
it's long and thin. I learned that in art class everybody.
Public education at its best. (laughs)
This is the weirdest looking octopus ever.
He's done. I've made an octopus.
Alright, so what else is there. What's next? (VO) A beer bottle.
(rock music starts) Ooh, a beer bottle. This should be pretty good.
I'm familiar with those. (cap pops off)
Let's get to work here and make the bottom half of our beer bottle.
We'll stretch out the dough. We'll roll it up here. Make it a little taller.
(rock music continues)
Let's see if I can make this top part sort of taper off
the way a real bear does. How do they do this down at the factory?
Well, first of all, they don't make them out of Play-Doh. (laughs)
What I would like to have it do is sort of get thinner
like a real bottle does as you get towards to the top.
We've got our neck and really comes up nice too.
It comes - you know, gets nice and thin up here just like a real bottle does.
Perhaps try and make a little cap.
I don't know if that really works so well, but -- yeah, it does.
Of course it does. Look, it's had too many beers. It falls down.
And there's my beer bottle. Who's thirsty everybody?!
What's next? (VO) Try doing a self portrait.
(Tommy) Alright, me. I'll try that.
So, let's start and we'll make the, sort of the head first
where the front of the face is going to be.
We'll mold our clay a little bit. And sort of work it around until we
can come up with something that we like for a shape.
Alright, so here, we'll put two eyes - just little tiny...
See. Now, we'll put
two actual little eyes in them. Little tiny things.
So now I'm trying to make like the eyeball or the eye
that you might see... to fit in the eye spot.
Ooh, boy.
So, now let's put a nose on.
Right under our eyes. Let's try and make
a sort of little nosey thing.
Ooh, not bad. Not bad. Yeah!
Look at that!
How would we make a nice smile? Look, now it's like
he has lips. Do we put teeth in? I'm going to say
no. But I need ears.
So I just sort of making it kind of this flat thing.
Right? So that I can attach it to the back of this sculpture.
And leave the top bit out and will be like
an ear part.
And a final look here. So there's the nose... there's the eyes....
Here's you eyes. They're a little close to the eyes, but... what the hell.
Alright, so let's compare the two now. So, we'll
look at the sculpture and myself. Okay? So we'll put this right about here.
You can't tell the difference, can you?
How are you fella? Good to see you. Good to see you too. (laughs)
(credits music)
Well, thanks for making me there fella. You did nice a job.
What? (laughs)
What's that? You want to plug the social media?
(sigh) Go ahead. Twitter. Facebook.
Instagram. YouTube.
And Tumble. And Google Plus. (laughs)
And Compuserve. We're on that too! (laughs)
