Silent Arrow - Nooks and Crannies

It was a day of contortions. Today I finished the clay of SILENT ARROW. Tomorrow I clean it up and then I'll get IRON HORN started. I figure I'll be working through Saturday.



SILENT ARROW at the end of the day.

Silent Arrow - 2nd Day On The Life-Size Clay

Started at 7:30 am today, and spent the day, fine tuning the bow scabbard, moccasins, leggings, loin cloth, knife sheath, and warrior's hair. I'm just about done with this piece. I'll try to finish my part of this piece tomorrow and maybe get started on Iron Horn tomorrow. That's the plan.. Not sure it'll work out.

Silent Arrow - 1st Day On The Life-Size Clay

Got to the foundry, Adonis Bronze, at 9 am. Spent the day fine tuning the clay. This clay was pointed up by Roger Hunt, over the past two months. He did an amazing job, being faithful to the original bronze I did several years ago.

Traveling to Alpine Utah

Spent the afternoon driving to Alpine Utah, which is about 45 miles south of Salt Lake City, Utah. I'll be at Adonis Bronze tomorrow, putting the final touches on two life size Indian clays, so that they can be cast into bronze.

Monday I Travel To Utah

I'm heading to Alpine Utah tomorrow. On Tuesday, I'll start final work on two clays. Life-size clays of IRON HORN, and SILENT ARROW.
SILENT ARROW has been pointed up by the people at Adonis Bronze in Alpine. I've had nothing to do with the clay up to this point. On Tuesday, I'll start to put in my final touches on that life-size clay and on the IRON HORN clay that I created a year ago September. I'll be adding to my blog on the trip down and while at the foundry. This is very exciting because the two life-size pieces will soon be cast into bronze.

The life-size clay (As of last week)

Ok.. not much sculpting this week I'm afraid. Today I traveled up the hill to Virginia City and to the Creighton Block Gallery to pick up a couple of bronzes, for delivery to other galleries. Traveled to Bozeman and delivered one of the bronzes to the foundry there so that they can ship it to a Gallery in Tahoe California... I'll be in Utah Next week, working on the two life-size Indian clays that are at the foundry there.

New Begining - Hair and Face

Spent the day working on the right hand side of the Mountain Man's head. Re-doing his hair and braid three times. Adding ears, and working on his leather coat's collar.
I'll be heading back to Bozeman Tomorrow. A large crack appeared in my van's windshield this morning. I've gotten a ticket before, driving in other states, for cracked windshield, and I'm traveling through Idaho and Utah on Monday.. so need to replace it. This will shoot the day tomorrow. I'll be back in my studio on Friday.
