more sculptures

just home from Art School and a successful 2 days in the sculpture studio,
these are a few companion pieces to go with last weeks work





don't think I'll get to many more pieces out of my box of bits, I'll have to move onto something new

this weeks round up

I've had a very busy week at Art school and at home
At Art school I made 2 pieces, the first one called Skating Man is just a bit of whimsy that I just had to make, again I was making pieces from the box of bits that I had and the bottle opener with the face on it was just calling out to be made into a person and when I saw the curved piece of wood I then new I had to put him on a skate board

again wood off cuts and a bolt from my box of bits

tonight I've finished the next stage of my tree stump, I have spent the past week needle felting with a single needle the wool rovings to the base


back to art school in the morning, another couple of days playing in the sculpture studio and a couple of days of looking at the tree stump on the kitchen bench while doing everyday stuff and working out what to do next

Stumped

I'm doing everything BUT what I'm supposed to be doing, now I'm writing my blog.
I'm working on my "tree stump" for my exhibition and boy has it got me stumped, I look at what's sitting on my kitchen bench and I can see the finished piece in my minds eye but getting the 2 things together is not a happening thing, plus I've had a headache all day so that's making me grumpy and the stump not cooperating isn't helping.

this is how it started out in the sculpture studio at art school a few weeks ago

then I made a base with hessian so I have something to attach stuff to

I have needle felted wool roving to a large piece of brown stretch denim that I have been stitching down to the Hessian today and then I'll starting the long process of shaping around the roots then needle felting by hand to embellish the trunk but now I think it's time to start cooking dinner - see another diversion..............

A good days work

I had a very productive day at art school yesterday after having two weeks off I went into the sculpture studio raring to go, here are the 3 little pieces I made, still using bits from an assorted box of stuff I bought at a Trash n Treasure market last year and a couple of wood off cuts,
I'm very happy with my out come, what do you think?

Soap stone pieces

Here are a few of my latest carved soap stone pieces, have a thing about holes at the moment

assemblage

have been busy in the studio at Art School and at home in the fibre studio and trying to not loose my days sitting at the computer, so I'm sorry I haven't posted for a while

here are two companion pieces that I've been working on in the sculpture studio this term, I think they are finished - but maybe not..........
they don't have a name as yet, any ideas

Barbie's birthday hangover

even Barbie , who still looks great at 50, can't party hard for a week
- and not eventually hit the wall


and even though she still has her youthful looks
- the old hip replacement is inevitable........
