Our Bodies are Beautiful

Lots of small changes since I posted her last. I raised her hip on her right side, shortened her right arm, raised her cheekbones, finished her hands, raised her belly button, and re-formed her stomach and neck, among other things. Also, I gave her a title- "Our Bodies are Beautiful." I'll be baking her soon, and working on a base. I'll give some insight on the symbolism etc. when I post the final thing, I think.

Getting a Head of Ourselves

Lots of changes to her, beyond just adding the head. She still seems a bit off proportion. I'm thinking of abandoning my original plans for her, and taking her in a new direction. I'll post when I figure out what that direction is.

New Project

Pictures are in chronological order. After a failed attempt at building the form, I had to bake some of the clay on to make a more sturdy armature. This piece is taking many, many hours. I'm using a mix of 2:1 Sculpey Firm and Super Sculpey, which seems to work really well. I have big plans and a complex thought-process with this one, but I'll share that next time. She does have a head, but that is also for another time.

The sitting female has also been fully repaired. Next step is buy materials for the patina.
