The Final Push- Gosh Darn Hand

I am still working on that gosh darn hand. But i bought my 4 feet by 23 inch piece of wood for 12 bucks from the wood shop courtesy of Alex. I spoke with Hope about how to go about preparing my four foot waste slab. I spoke with Christine about rotating the slab to allow for even drying..even though the whole idea of moving it freaks me out...but i guess i will try to not concern myself with this for the time being. As soon as Friday class is over, I'm going to just push and push and work as hard as I can... these things are slow going.. but the hands and feet are sooo important.. then ive got the glasses, hair, earphones. Then re-hollow out the gutz by slicing open the belly and yankin out the clay. Open up the arms and legs and re-hollow, re-seal, smooth, fix all sides and edges where the figure rests on the surface. Define and detail all creases, clean any clay bits. Then I will transfer everything over to the slab... which will hopefully be about the same consistency as the figure by this time and have sand or grog on it. After tomorrow i will be able to measure and decide if I will need to splice her in half.. what i pitty if i have to.. that would suck. oh well.. gotta just keep pushing on.

Bare Bones


I'm working on the arms. These are only temporary glasses. I know the hand is too big...i plan to make it smaller. The boobs are flatter now, and the nipples will also be reduced. But you can see how things are progressing. These are the bare bones people, so be kind.
