Working on the Horse - I Fail on a Ladder

Back to work on the horse today. At some point I was asked to help attach a sign that fell off a top shelf yesterday. I climbed up on an old metal ladder, and I was stepping back down, the bottom rung of the ladder broke.
Not hurt I continued working on the horses head and neck.

Commission Put Aside - A Parade and a Horse Begun

Today was the official opening of Virginia City Montana for the summer tourist season. There was a parade that went through town twice. A wonderful Highschool Band from Kingston Washington. Oh, and I danced with a pioneer lady on the street.. LOL

I've recieved a commission to create two busts of an Indian man and woman to be fitted in bronze on the top of two crystal balls at the top of a set of door handles. There's going to be a lot of creativity in these door handles and my contribution is just part of it.

The Commission - A Second Crystal Ball Arrived

Got the second crystal ball from Trent at Stone Light Works, so that I can mount both Indian busts to keep them both the same scale and height.

I Just Want to Thank Everyone

If someone had told me, 10 years ago, that people all over the world would view me sculpting on a daily basis.. I'd of said, "Your crazy", but people are brought together on this blog to view a simple artist living alone in the mountains of Montana, create his art.
Just today, people across America, Germany, United Kingdom, Greece, Australia, Russia, Spain, Hong Kong, Indonesia (been there back in 1991), Hungary, Netherlands, Poland, Ukraine, and Canada viewed my daily blog. In the past, people in Spain, Russia, Mongolia, Japan, Thailand, Israel, Egypt, India, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, and Brazil. It's just amazing.
It brings tears to my eyes to know, I'm not alone. Thank you everyone, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.

Salt Lake and Back to pick up my Repaired Van

13 hours on the road today. Started at 6 am in a rented car, and drove over 400 miles to Salt Lake City, to get my repaired van. I've been without a vehicle since the 3rd of May. So relieved to get my van back.
