slow progress

What is this I see? Why, two heads staring back at me. I was hoping to have everything finished by this week and now, upon reflection, I see that was an unrealistic expectation on my part. I haven't been able to squeeze as much work time as I had hoped out of the last week, but the moments I did carve out for work proved to be productive. Head number two is finished and body one is very close to done. This head is a bit different from what I have been doing. I was feeling slightly experimental and wanted to play with larger facial features on the same skull size. I am still not sure how I feel about it. I am very eager to move on to the mold and casting phase.

Well, well... haven't I been quite the ghost recently? We moved into our new home at the end of December and I have been absorbed with nesting; neglecting work altogether. I haven't had a place to call my own in so many years, that I fully embraced the "homemaker" persona without guilt. I forgot how much I enjoy cooking (and predominately baking - many cakes have been consumed these last few months).

Recently, however, I have had a flood of ideas and my fingers have been rather itchy to get back to work. I have decided to make a batch of new things to be molded - garnering multiple dolls and ornaments with each cast run (this will be -or should be, at least- quite the time saver!). So, in the works I have four heads, two bodies, and one set of limbs. All these mix-and-match pieces are making me feel a bit like Frankenstein. The goal right now is to have everything ready to be molded next week. So far, head no. 1 is finished (pictured right). I seem to have worked myself into a decent rhythm with sculpting, but it has been a bit bumpy. My fingers feel heavy and clumsy. And I am having to take frequent breaks to meditate/relax my mind so I don't start feeling overwhelmed. It's been slow going, but I am trying to not come down too hard on myself. Plus, I still need to take breaks to bake... it's well established that eating cake helps you sculpt better - it's science.
