Dark Red Hair “Memories” Sculpture
Dark Red Hair “Memories” Sculpture
Here’s my second red haired sculpture called “Memories” but this sculpt has dark red hair rather than light as “With Love” had. I’d like to achieve the same rich red tone for next time but with less shine. If I were to add more china paint it would bring about a more satin gloss finish. With the base she’s ……

My Red Headed Lady Sculptures
What a treat to get to venture into new territory by doing two sculptures, both with red hair! I thoroughly enjoyed displaying the beauty of this special hair color. Normally I tend to use dark brown to black hair color or sometimes blonde but never have I depicted a red head! I didn’t even know if I could do it justice but wanted to try. Below you’ll see pics of…..

Taco Bell Chihuahua Sculpture and Other Finished Sculpts
Taco Bell Chihuahua Sculpture and Other Finished Sculpts
Have you ever made a gift for someone and then lost track of them and couldn’t give it to them? That’s what happened to me several years ago. I had an online acquaintance that had given so much to me in the way of teaching me photography that I wanted to give that person a gift. The photographer had 2 cute little chihuahuas that were named “Peso Bill” and “Taca Belle.” I was inspired to …….

True Rough Sketch
Hey, I shocked my own self! I did it, yippee. Read the rest of this entry »
Well, it’s not much but I truly showed myself that I could do a one dayer (beside the first session of basic structure that has to stiffen in order to work). This is going to be for an affordable sculpture for a local gallery show…..

Discovery About Myself
Discovery About Myself
Discovered that I really do love doing quick clay sketches. That initial creation period is intense and euphoric. Since my reading book lady sculpt is destined to be refined in bronze, she will be my next project to finish for my romantic realism gallery. Then I’m finishing my Indian in a Canoe sculpt! Looking forward to it!
Meanwhile, I have this show coming up in my home town in June and I won’t have any new art that is finished which is embarrassing and disappointing. So I made up some quickie rose sculpts and will glaze them……

Lady Reading a Book Sculpture
Lady Reading a Book Sculpture
I’m sculpting a lady relaxing in a beautiful setting reading her favorite book. Here’s the story: After a year of sculpting detail and careful attention to every little thing, you know what feels absolutely wonderful? To sculpt with freedom of who cares about this and that, just do it! I gave myself a free pass to play this weekend because….

Pouring Wax for Bronze Casting
Pouring Wax for Bronze Casting
Pouring wax for bronze is a very important part of the process. I’ve had one foundry pour the awful-est (is that a word?) waxes and told me this was due to my highly detailed work. NOT! One reason for bubbles is because of using reclaimed wax (wax that has been used before) rather than virgin wax……..
