Oh man I’m having a blast. I’ve been wanting to do my own mixed media sculpts and Charlene Ahlgreen has made me get moving towards that very thing. Okay, Charlene doesn’t realised that by asking me to share what I know about sculpting hands etc in a workshop that she was going to unlease this whole new direction for me. Thank you Charlene.
I’m not got to be teaching this exactly, just the sculpting part, but I don’t see any harm is a little side trip for me while I’m getting ready for the class. (see me grinning with a twinkle in my eye?)
I love color don’t you? I like beautiful soft color, sophisticated color, and understated color too, but somehow the bright exuberant colors just make me smile.
I’m still thinking I need to add more cane slices. Here’s where the question, “when do you know it’s time to stop?” comes in.
Should I title it “look up”, “heads up” or…..help me here, leave me a suggestion just for fun!
my 2 cents’ worth: “Up is where I am at!” ha ha!
(Back to English grammar, please, Lois!)
“Right up there – see?”
I think you’ve got just the right number of cane slices – and delightful amounts of color.
Alice, I think it’s fantastic, there seems to be no end of what you can do with polymer clay, just wish there were more hours in the day.
“It All Starts With One”. I think one artist helping another, one artist sharing, one artist giving, and so on, and so on.
I know when to stop when I look through a Reverse Magnifying Glass found in the quilting section of craft stores. It allows you to see the balance of your piece (or lack thereof). Doesn’t mean I follow it. Sometimes, until I get that “feeling” expressed completely, I keep going until I feel I’ve let it out into a form.
The color and balance is perfect–so says the lady behind the looking glass. -Marlene
lol Lois, my mother always used to say, “it’s behind the at” ,
when I’d ask “Were’s it at?” ……But I like your suggestion and your English gammar is just right.
Thanks Marcia, and I like that.
Ah thanks Chrissie!
oh cool Marlene, yes I like that. Thanks
Yes, I kind of do the same thing with my sculpts except in the mirror. It helps with balance.
this sculpure is so cool and the polymer part just lovely!
my title idea would “why look up there, just look all around
Suzanne, that’s a great saying. Thanks so much!
‘They went thataway!’
Very cool! Love the colors!
like that Sylvia…they went up!!!! thanks!
Oh thank you Marty.
I am so bad, The piece is great but I think it could be a Washington monument if the next finger was up!
Patti….Patti!!
I’m SOOOO loving this piece…it’s so MacKenzie-Childs! I think I’d call it “Whaddup Dude?” Thanks for sharing!
Hey Sarah!,,,thanks, I like that!
Groovy, Alice! (:
Thanks Wes, I appreciate the compliment and date myself by loving the word groovey!. Polymer clay is such fun!
