Progress! Slow & Steady.

Today I got started with a few things to take my sculptures

to the next phases.

For the walrus sign I added a bit of another layer of wood for where his arm will overhang onto the sign. I also added the metal wire for where the feather will be on his hat. Next for the Walrus sign, I will begin to add tinfoil to bulken him up and start painting the background. After that I should be ready to apply clay and get to the more fun part: sculpting!

In the menawhile, I got started cutting the pieces for the new superdog Jake side car project. It was all about measuring the pieces out and making sure the proportion and scale looked well for the wooden base that it will sit on.

This new project has got me scratching my head quite a bit already. I will continue to cut the wooden pieces to build up the armature for the car and Jake but I'd like to be strategic with how i can also use metal wire. What will I do for the wheels? This sculpture will need be firmly connected to the base.

I am feeling more comfortable using the jigsaw by now and am really eager to see this Jake sculpture come to life!

Stay tuned...
