Sculpting: How to join two ends (threads) of the SAME mesh? Good day, lovely community of BSE!
I obstacle a problem when taught my cousin a sculpting.

I tried to make a knot, like a cup handle, using Snake Hook sculpting brush. But when I tried to join two this threads, they doesn't interact with each other and saved their topology.

I understand that I can add a ring mesh and join it with a main model, but what about this particular situation? How to join two threads of one mesh?

As an alternative way, I could make a hole in solid bulge, is it possible without Boolean operations, like using brushes only?

Thanks!
From my own experience, i dont think you could use any brush to 'stick' 2 ends together. I haven't tried any Sculpt Brush add-ons, but i dont think you could join these 2 without adding another mesh and add a boolean modifier.
