New Video- “Beautiful Dreamer in Clay”

 Hi Everyone,

Here’s my very first sculpture video and it’s of Beautiful Dreamer.  I love the crispness of the clay details and wanted to show it all to you.  The best way is with video (either that or a ton of pictures).  I like video because emotion

Book Sponge

Book Sponge

It’s been awhile since I posted anything on my blog.  Hi everyone :-) Today I share with you “Book Sponge” as my husband just named her.   This sculpt came about after having a close friend come over to work (staining my redwood benches/arbors) and brought her eight year old daughter (the last of her seven daughters!) with her.   Her Little Mo Mo, as she likes to call her, wanted to earn some money too as a model for me.

“Garden Reverie” Finished in Bronze!

“Garden Reverie”  Finished in Bronze!

Hi everyone,

Finally have some pics to share with you of Garden Reverie in monochrome.  The patina is called a pastel patina, meaning that a white base is used and then color is slowly built up upon that.  I wanted her to look warm and soft so we used warm colors of rosy salmon, tan, off-white and grey.

Garden Reverie Sculpture #8

Garden Reverie Sculpture #8

Once again, refining her figure is what I’ll be showing today but this time for her legs.  Keeping in mind the shape of the bones, such as in the knee, is important.  There are many complex features to a knee.  Two large bones join there and then a knee cap and tendons, muscle and fat all play a part.
