PAINT PARTY FRIDAY FEB 21

Hi Everyone!

It has been a tough week and then my pc decided to take a dump. Thank goodness I have the best IT guy in Florence. He got right on it and I now have my pc back. I would never have purchased a W8 if there had been any other PC in the store. My first PC was DOS and until W8 I have never had a PC crash on me. This one has crashed twice in two years. Rediculous? aaahhh yeaaahhhh.... So with that said I didn't have much time to get my art finsihed. I started a sculpt that I will mold and use for leather impressions. This type of sculpt is not "detailed" I simply want full deep features. Hope to get him finished this weekend.


Just getting him worked out


Got his eyes and cheeks in. Now I just need to smooth out and add a few more details.


 Thanks to Eva and Kristin for hosting Paint Party Friday
Also a big thanks to all the artists who participate and take that courageous step to show the world what they have created. Please stop by to see who these artists are. 
Happy Paint Party Friday.

Nicole/Beadwright 
Honor and integrity in art, in life.

Hi Nicole. Hope you are doing well and pain free. Sorry about your computer, but glad you are up and running. I really, really love the sculpture you are working on. You always inspire me with all the artistic work you do. My very first and I do mean first computers was a Commodore 64, way back in the 80's. I still have it in a box some place in the garage. :) Have a wonderful day and keep up the fun and exciting work.

This is interesting...never sculpted except for a few tiny things in clay for my daughter. It's looking great already.
I have mailed the pack to you Nicole. The postal ppl said it would take 20-25 days. Hope you like it :D

Crashing computers, ugh! I will be back to see what you do with him. Sculpting looks like fun!

Tam Hess said...

Ugh...so frustrating. I flip out even when the stupid thing gets slow. I would loose it right now if mine crashed. haha

Love you face. Envious of peeps who know how to work with clay like that. Really great work.

Happy Paint Party Friday!
