Leigh Bust

So I finished up the sculpture keeping her white. I painted her and then buffed places for a nice sheen. I also gave she some metal hoop earrings, the young lady that was the model for the sculpture thought that was fitting for her personality. She got accepted into the Eccles Art Centers Annual Black and White show. This picture was taken at the show, it's a bit wonky because all I have is my Iphone to take pictures. Maybe one day I will get a better camera. It was fun to have a piece of my art in an actual art show. Makes me feel like someday I might be an artist.

It has been to long

I can't believe how long it has been since I have updated my blog. I have felt overwhelmed lately and I guess this is one of the areas that gets dropped.
Today my boss was not at work so I decided to take half a day and go home. So besides some sculpting I decided to update some posts on my blog.
I am still taking the sculpture class on Thursdays, even though it is a drive for me and one more thing that seems to take time, but I have enjoyed it, I think I might take a break from it in the summer though.
Health wise I am still running, but not the mileage that I used to be able to do. My arthritis is coming back in my knee and my hip has never been the same since the pelvic stress fracture last year. But I have high hopes that thing will get better. I am participating (see I didn't say racing) in the Ogden Marathon. I will be doing the half marathon so I hope I can hold it together for that.
I will try to keep updates more frequent... here's to hoping :)

Finishing Up the Live Model Sculpture

To finish this sculpture I needed to hollow it out and prepare it to be fired in a kiln.

The face on a cushion after being cut off. And the rest of the head hollowed out.























And finally it is fired!
