LOTS OF CLAY WIP

Little French Fi Fi
all strung
up

The last French Fairy for awhile

the beginnings of a new sculpt
stone clay

and my molds still drying
I think they will make great push molds

the next set will be perfect!

JUST NOT READY TO GIVE UP

Since my experiments with mold making
seems all I can think about!
March truly came in like a Lion
armed with the experience of my 1st try,
determined to do it again
"Better"

started another doll, working on her core

she will be sculpted out with paper stone clay

THIS IS NOT FUN!

Today was plaster day
up to this point in my dollmaking life
making dolls has always been a pleasurable experience
But this, is the most horrible art mess I have ever done, making plaster casting molds is right up there with the horrible resin experiments, I did last year!
Maybe it takes some getting use to
or perhaps making these molds a few more times
would help
Whatever, I do plan on trying to cast a doll
and then make a decision
In the meantime while these are drying, I think I will make some dollies out of clay
"therapy"

MISSING FLORIDA SUNSHINE

Lots of rain the last few days
haven't been able to pour plaster in my molds
So I moved furniture around
again.
Decided to bring my childhood house into my studio
can't work on her if she is hiding in a dark corner in
another room

another table!
floors await sanding
walls need to be painted

and the outside needs sprucing
Lots of little Attic ghosts need to be created

an empty chair
Tangkou dolls await
