I am so pleased with this piece… The perspective worked as I wanted it to.  The skin was smooth… She flowed!  I just can’t think of a name for the piece.  I’m thinking of something like, “preparing for the night”,  but i’m not sure… Ha,  just while writing this it came to me, i’m calling it just, ‘this night’, after a track by Black Lab.  The track goes, “Take this night, and wrap it around me like a sheet”.

Not only is my bear sculpture on display again this weekend (in Winterthur, for Kunstschule Winterthur), but he’s on my teacher’s website too…

I’m really pleased with this one, although the bottom hand took me hours (it’s about 1 cm).  I had to cut it off and restart about 5 times!  The rest of it came together quite well.

The sculpture is about 20cm tall and made from polymer clay.

The bear is done!

All done, after around 30 hours of chiselling and filing on my first ever stone piece. I reduced the weight of my lump of stone by around half and probably removed a kilo of stone dust from my hair and clothes.  So, from start…

I’ll post better pictures when I get him home, as this weekend he will be on display in Winterthur town centre as part of the KunstSchule Winterthur exhibition.

I loved every minute of the process and can’t wait to start another piece, which I have already decided what I’d like to do (in marble).

Mounted and painted

Final pictures before the holidays… I can’t carry on until September now 😦 Ah well, I’ve enjoyed every minute of the process so far.  Just wish I could carry on for a few more weeks! It’s looking even more like what it is supposed to be now too.

Started my stone sculpting course last night… picked a nice block and set to work.  Can you imagine what I saw inside of it yet?

I’ll post the pictures as I work each week.
