Day 321 - 365/2014

Day Three Hundred Twenty-one

What I Did Today:

1.  Got tired of looking at the big blue guy on the canvas's big round eyes so I played around with some paper and made him another temporary face.

2.  Totally finished the bowling pin cat-creature with final sealing coat, cleaned up the underneath part of the bowling pin, and signed/dated it.

3.  Made a good dent in clearing out/putting away stuff in the behind-my-desk-area of my studio before I stopped for the night.  I am not proud to show the pictures, but hey...it's what I did today.

before  (and look -- it was still light outside)

after  (I had to keep telling myself "you are allowed to throw things away once in a while".)

Day 193 - 365/2014

Day One Hundred Ninety-Three

Today I cleared enough space in the wet studio to be able to work.  Yay -- it's about time!

I have been wanting to get to work on the rabbit-like guy.  Tonight I decided on arms for him and attached them.  Later I put plaster cloth around the torso/plaque/legs area.  I need to figure out how his body is going to look around his hips/haunches and what kind of clothes and hands he will have.  I also posed him with the shoe forms to see what sort of work they will need...besides needing to be solid and have a flat underneath part where the sole of the shoe should be.

READY to get started!

I found these arms and played around with the placement until I (naturally) settled on this.

Yay -- they seem pretty stable.

Then I put plaster cloth all around the torso/plaque/legs.

Posing with the shoe forms on the fronts of his legs.

Whew -- that is enough for tonight.
