And-Now For Something Completely Different- Works in Progress
I've been sculpting with fabric for yrs now, but my initial training was sculpting with traditional materials like clay and wax.
I had an odd dream the other night about these elemental cat women. You know Earth, Air, Water and Fire....I got up and did some sketches.
I had been reading this fabu book on the sculptures of women during the time of Akhenaten and decided sculpting them as tiny bas-relief sculptures. The pieces are around 2 inches in diameter.
I'm going to make molds on the sculptures and produce them in limited editions. They should make nice pendants.
I was thinking of faux finishing them so they look like things like yellow jasper or faince (turquoise colored) beads.
I need to smooth the surface of earth cat a bit more before I have a mold put on it and the water cat is still rough, but I think they're going to be quite nice when they're finished.
