New piece number 18.

This piece started as a full figure from a model.  I caught a cold and missed the last session with the model so I just cut the legs off and the arms and made a torso.  It's a small piece only about 6 inches tall but I really like this size.  Perhaps I'll make more torsos this size as it was really fun to sculpt.

Over Christmas my fave mouse went flying and smashed on the cement floor.  So I made a new mouse.

The first sculpture of 2016.

Here is another face box that  brings my challenge total up to 16.  I'm extending my challenge until the end of the year.  I want to get used to daily studio work even when I'm not in the mood.  Also my first finished piece of 2016.

Sculpture number 15.

I've had a very productive month which is unusual for the holiday season.  My shoulder is just about 100% and I'm working on getting my elbow back into shape.  I have some great ideas I want to explore and I'm recommitted to pursuing sculpture and my challenge.  For awhile there I was ready to give up as my elbow hurt I had next to no studio time at home.  Now I'm over the dark thoughts and ready to be creative again.

Lucky Sculpture 13

I've had a good week and finished several pieces.  With this head rather then let if be a head that just sits there I made it into a box.  I used to make lots of boxes but stopped.  I think I'd like to make them again.

I'm getting back on track.  My elbow is feeling better.  I'm up to date with finishing sculpture.  I think December will be a great month.
