Canceled Due To Weather

Snow for the next three days and it's just to dangerous to drive two lane roads to Jackson Wyoming when there is snow is falling.
Also Had a question by a young artist, "How do you get your clays into bronze and into a gallery?" I answer that, using my own experience, in this video.
Below my video are some heart pumping boat racing videos.. just to entertain you.



This one should get you jumping.



Helmet camera on the rollbar of a race boat at Riggins Idaho. This onboard camera gives you a view of what the driver sees as their racing. This helmet cam view is of one entire leg down the race course at Riggins Idaho.

Unscheduled journey tomorrow to Mountain Trails in Jackson Hole Wyoming.



This picture shows an old homestead that was settled by a family with the last name of Lemon back in the late 1800s or early 1900s.


This photograph shows the Old Bozeman Trail. Stagecoaches used to travel on this old road. The road is visible running up the hill and to the left on the hillside going over Norris Pass into the Madison Valley.

Trip to Bozeman and then back in the Studio to work on the Eyes

Today was a mixed day. Had computer problems last night, after a Microsoft update.. grrrrr... So I had to take my lap top into Bozeman to have a computer guy work on it. Got home and into my studio late this afternoon. I only had time to work on the Warrior's eyes. I'll be gone till 28th of this month, or Monday of this next week.
Merry Christmas to all of you who come to my blog and my Youtube Videos. Without you all, I'd be doing this for myself. lol

Today The Warrior Starts to Take Shape

I started by showing you how I created a Stand Cam.. Then I start to work on the war club the warrior will be holding. Then I work from the legs up to his head. Got a lot done today.

Applying First Clay to the Indian

It was a short day today. I spent the first 2/3rds of the day shopping.. it is the season.. I got into the studio late and started adding clay to the armature. I adjusted the arm armatures, and made the stone head for the war club out of Epoxy Putty, or Fast Steel.

the Pose and Foaming It - Thursday and Friday Entries

I came to a decision on the pose today, and then set about to create the armatures position. I then added foam to the armature to give it not only strength, but to make it lighter. Using foam, I saved at least 10 pounds of clay, about $25 dollars worth.





Today, Friday December 18th, I added foam to the legs. This is a continuation of the making of the armature for this new Indian piece.
