Cold working (cutting, grinding, and polishing) my new sculptures is a slow going process. While I have removed all the plaster from the peices, I only have the main sprews (air vents to let the glass into the sculpture when it is melting) cut off of one of my peices. After this it is a long process to remove the rest of the excess glass and to do the final smothing out of the surfaces. It is work that requires patience and a steady hand.

    While I may spend a lot of my time working on this, it doesn't exclude me from working on other projects! I just bought 50lbs of clay and sculpting tools so that I can start working on the model for my next sculpture. I plan for this one to be almost double the size of the original series! The use of clay to sculpt this new model instead of wax may cause a difference in surface texture to the piece, but in return it allows of the piece to be made quicker and easier than working so big in hard wax would allow.
