Making Sense of it All...

Spending the day trying to make sense of what is going on in our world. Lounging, guitar, art books, sketching, newspaper and finally Tylenol...in mini.
We are living in a crazy world.

This Might Work...

I wanted to share with you the Art Deco Bust. I completed the sculpture, put it in the oven and forgot about it. As you can see, the translucent clay burned. I tried making a mold of the bust, but it did not work out :(.
After a few days of thinking about it, I decided to prime the bust so that I can paint it. My initial idea was to use make-up to color it, because of the over cooking, that won't work.
Yesterday I sketched out the face, it looks like it just might work! Last night I sanded the bust and will take my time painting it. I really want this one to work out. I love the originals and know for sure I only have one shot at this. :0


Here's a peek:

Put it in the oven and forgot about it :(…overcooked!
