Wrap the snakes around the bottom of the chair to the front.

You can trim after you wrap it. This will give us the proper thickness for the armrests

Once you smooth the snakes and blend them into the chair shape, it's time to slice some angles again.

The trick is to always leave a 45' angle in the bottom rear of the chair.

Blend the snakes into the chair until you have a smooth surface.

The blue arrows show you just how the curve should be shaped on each side of the chair.

Another shot of the bottom of the chair with the 45' angles sliced off.

Once this is done, you can heat the Sculpey to harden it a little and prevent disfiguring in the next steps.

Roll 2 more snakes and place from the top of each side to the front of each armrest.

This is to thicken the sides and give us a nice smooth angle in the front view.

Pay no attention to the blob of Super Sculpey under the cair, that's just to photograph better :)

Make sure to blend the snakes into the back of the chair as well.

Use a flat Sculpey tool to keep the 45' angles from the armrest and sides of the rear.

I hope you understand what I am trying to say.

Here is a great shot from the chair bottom that shows you that even when blended.

You can still make out sharp edges that merge into the armrests.

Now is a good time to harden the Super Sculpey with your Heat Gun.

I flattened a small piece of Super Sculpey and applied it on the front of the chair so that I could cut out this little rectangle detail.

It also helps to give you square angles in the front.

Time for pillows, Use your rolling pin and flatten some Super Sculpey.

Cut 2 pieces in the dimensions that fit on the inside of the chair.

Aprox 3cm wide, One 2cm tall and the other 4.5cm tall.

You can trim the width if they don't perfectly fit into the chair.
