As of February 18

After a bit more clay, I decided to rest for a bit so I could get on with all my real work - like housework and bookkeeping - I normally would be doing. In this shot, it shows the curve rather well, but the tilt is not as obvious. I've tried to make put it in a realistic posture. What I've learned is how much I have to learn about clay types and underlying forms. I need a good book for these things, but I have little doubt that I am capable of the sculpture aspect. I once make a human head out of Fimo clay about 1 inch tall and wow'd my art history sister. She didn't know I had it in me - neither did I.

Done with the newspaper, I started applying the clay. I don't know if you can tell, but I was working on it on my bed.

Not wanting a stiff-as -a-board sculpture, I gave it some flow ... after all - it does live in water, yes?

At this point, I was mostly done with the form - made out of newspaper as you can see. It does look like a fish - I hope.

Latest Art Project

This is my latest art project. I've had the urge to put hand to clay for almost two years, so I finally gave in, bought some clay and started to fumble around.
