Where My Soul Can Rest update

Hi all,

Today was so much fun, to put on the hair and clothes on the lady sitting on the grassy embankment. It all went very smoothly and easily which is nice for a change.

Where My Soul Can Rest Sculpture

Hi friends,

After doing the Hope rose I thought I should work on this sketch of  a young lady.  She’s a work in progress of a young lady sitting on an embankment with her feet dangling in the water.  I could do a serious sculpture of her one day. The drawing below I did back in 2008 and it was just waiting to be made into clay.

Hope Rose sculpture

Hi Everyone,

Here’s a rose flower clay sculpture that I made today.  I made it for my therapist’s office (I’ve been having counseling for a phobia).  I’ve offered to do trade with him and he’s considering it.  So if he decides not to, then I can always sell this or give it away as a gift (most often I give them away ).

Lady and Cat sculpture

Hi All,
I took in the jagged area a bit more and signed her on the back. Well, for a 4 hour sculpt, I like her okay. This idea for her came from my sketch book. I like to draw ideas now and again for sculpture.

Indian woman with cat sculpture finished

Hi family and friends,

Today Ron and I worked in the yard with Brandon (a 19 year old friend) and Travis (my nephew . We got a lot done with their help. It’s great to have such good workers to be able to call on to get things done. With the weather mild, it’s the time to get the yard in shape before the heat sets in.

Before dinner I decided to finish up my sculpture in 1 hour but instead it took two (and a few more minutes after dinner).

My Baby

Hi Everyone,

Tonight I wanted to make something that only took an hour or so. Well, I didn’t get done but maybe in another hour I’ll finish.(Yesterday I did two of the cat’s from my last blog post) It’s nothing much but just something for fun that’s easy and hopefully will look okay when done. It’ll be an Indian woman with braids (since I’m using red clay) and she’s holding her baby, her kitty. I just want it to be rough and unfinished looking. Right now it’s not done at all but with a little bit of work it’ll be done.

Just For Fun Cat Sculpture

Hi Friends,

Instead of working on something tedious and important to have just right, I wanted to play in the clay. Oftentimes when I do this is when I’m helping on a project for a family member who’s making something. So I end up not playing just for myself. Since I liked the red clay so much, I decided to get it out and make something. At first I was going to make some birds but decided to make cats since I love them so much.

Luisa clay sketch

Hi Everyone,

Here’s a quick sketch of Luisa, a close friend that is 89 years old. She’s the sweetest lady that you’ll ever meet.  She is an artist herself and paints beautifully.  She eminates love to all, strangers or dearest friends. I just had to make a clay sculpture of her.  I worked from pictures that I had and memory.  I know it would be better to have her right there, that is for sure.  Now I need to have her come and make some alterations to her body because I have her torso too long and knees to narrow.  Working from life prevents backtracking and reworking the sculpture. :)
