 |
| Starting out with a base... |
 |
| Working on building up the base, and the head... |
 |
| Making sure to punch air holes as I go along... |
 |
| The head has a really weird shape, that I will need to modify later... |
 |
| Percy hates the shape of the head, too... |
 |
| Many attempts at eyes lead to gouging them out repeatedly... |
 |
| Now, he needs clothes... |
 |
| He's a waiter, so he needs to look dapper... |
 |
| Wonkiness with proportion... |
 |
| And, so he has a polka dot eyebrow... |
 |
| Now, the drying process begins... |
 |
| These guys are exhausted... |
 |
| Warmed up by making a tiny bust... |
 |
| Adding some cheekbone... |
 |
| Working on finishing the head... |
 |
| I have wanted to use this metal cone... |
 |
| Adding some structure to this space alien... |
 |
| And now, how about some hair... |
 |
| The hair is wood grained... |
 |
| Added some juggling balls to her shoulders... |
 |
| Hopefully the cone will fit, after the clay shrinks... |
 |
| A line of vintage style mannequins... |
 |
| A flat portrait with wide set eyes... |
 |
| A tiny bust... |
 |
| Loving the bottle cap hats... |
 |
| Super duper expressive coloring... |
 |
| Roman portrait bust... |
 |
| Another Roman portrait... |
 |
| Love the flatness of this one... |
 |
| A collection of small heads and busts... |
 |
| Fabulously skilled Roman carving... |
 |
| Started the morning by wiping down plates... |
 |
| Built up a base for the bust... |
 |
| Started building the halfway point of the head first... |
 |
| The cone will be her hat... |
 |
| Building up the head with coils... |
 |
| It looks like a chip and salsa dish in there... |
 |
| Starting to curve the head a bit... |
 |
| The neck is attached to the bust... |
 |
| Taking copious salt water taffy breaks... |
 |
| Elongating the neck, so that the head can be attached tomorrow... |
 |
| This guy has now been around for one whole year... |
 |
| While Ethan is relatively brand new... |
 |
| Gabe played with his balloons... |
 |
| My nephew, Brian, holds his newly minted son... |
 |
| Gabe seemed to enjoy his ice cream sandwich cake... |
 |
| Percy barely survived the car-sick drive... |
 |
| Some little dolls... |
 |
| It's the stuffed animal version of Percy... |
 |
| Game table with presidents... |
 |
| Highly decorative floral painting... |
 |
| Three dolls... |
 |
| Lovely painting... |
 |
| Super expensive candlesticks are making the rounds... |
 |
| Hobby horse... |
 |
| Art dinner the night before with Liz Crain... |
 |
| Talk about artist stuff, followed by dessert... |
