bird heads







That took a long time making the molds, pouring the plaster and finally dried out enough that I can continue the wall sculptures. The final plaster bird heads turned out nice, the beaks could of turned out a little better in my opinion, but I am probably just a little picky. I've actually finished one of the wall sculptures, wax and all and it is currently hanging in my studio. However, I am still not sure how pleased I am with the piece. It did turn out the way I thought, but sometimes it takes a few days or even weeks before I can be perfectly happy with what I created.

Now I have two sculptures left to finish and in the end I will have a series of four, and it would be great if someone wanted the series for their home, studio or workplace. As much as like my work and like having my stuff on the walls of the studio, art is always best shared with others. Send me a note if you are interested and like always we can work something out.

Not too sure what is up next after the wall sculptures, I do have a couple ideas lingering and I am sure they will be explored soon. Oh ya, the hemlock dye didn't really turn out like I thought so that will be an ongoing project. Maybe the paper didn't take the dye like it should have. Does anyone have any ideas on paper that would soak up dye nicely???
