So as you can see I have gone mad. I have heads, hands, legs - it's all happening at the moment. This is very strange, I have just moved from one part to the next and thankfully with it still being Summer the warm weather is helping the clay dry quite effectively. While I'm waiting for one thing to cure, I move to the next bit - see there is a reason why I make more than one thing at a time.
Head in progress, I'm still working on the eyes as you can see. The second head is also waiting to be finished and sanded.
And then there are the hands. I actually found these to be not as daunting as in the past. The small stick on the left is a paper wrapped floral wire with a coating of clay. I made 20 of these and then made them into 4 hands. Bending the fingers to a pose and adding more clay is just the start. There has to be a lot more sanding and adding of clay and shaping.............................
