Cat Elementals - Works in Progress Step 2

Here is the first Elemental cat Earth pulled from her mold. She needs a little finishing before I paint her. You can see she's quite a bit more finished than the first pictures you saw of her.

You can see the biggest difference in the Water Elemental. She's much more finished.

I'm finishing off the Air and Fire Elementals now.



I'm thinking of using a color scheme like the one in this one below for the series.
I'll show you what I've come up with for the new Elementals and how the color scheme is working in the next few days.

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.

Southern California KItty Moms! Come to the Rescue!

See these cute babies and their Moms?! They just took up residence on my back porch. There are 2 black and whites, 3 blacks and 2 siamesey types.

If you live anywhere close to Lancaster, Ca and want a wild little kitten to tame and raise as your own, contact me here or at one of these e-mail addresses.

phuzzyvelour@earthlink.net or fuzzyvelour@yahoo.com

I have 1 siamesey one spoken for already. I'm contacting local rescue groups, but they don't have space for any more kittens at present.

If you are local, want a companion ......you will have to tame a kitten like this down.... it takes me 2-3 weeks to get a feral kitten box trained and comfortable in an indoor setting... contact me.

I'll add more pictures as I can to this ongoing rescue attempt. I'm trying not to scare this family off. I want to try and capture the kittens asap....they are beginning to eat and go potty on their own. Soon capture will be more problematic.

I have a local feral cat spay and neuter group coming for the Moms soon 2-3 weeks and I want to get the babies adopted ASAP!

Let me know if you can help!

On being a kitty Mom- Ode to my cat babies

I love my cats.....I really do, but sometimes they do drive me a bit nuts.

I know they're just playing and don't realize they're being destructive.

and other times they're just too cute for words and I love them all over again.

Even with all the mess they make, my rescued kitties are a great joy to me.

Works in Progress- It's Always Something.....

Well, I'm bopping along on my doll-making book. The pictures look pretty good....I think.

But, now I'm worried about the dark ground I'm using. I like it because the colors stand out to me. Some people see the black as too stark.

I'm going to just go with what I've got because I really hate stark white grounds and I really don't want to make 3 more dolls. I also have to stop 2nd guessing myself if I want to get this book done.
