Morning Joe - Plan To Add a Pot


I plan to add a partial ring of stones for a campfire ring, and on one of the stones will be a small coffee pot. This will complete the piece and finish the story. I also spent the day separating and cleaning my sculpting tools.

My Studio is Finally Set Up



Finally got my studio set up.. I'm going to be using a 26 1/2 inch (67.31 cm) tall, Tru Form Armature. I am just waiting for the clay to do this piece. Not sure what I'll be doing yet. This will be my first piece that I'll be creating fully on a new website. I still have no information on the website. When I do, I'll let you all know. I'll still be doing videos for Youtube and my Blog.. just not as fully involved.

Changes Coming As Far As My Videos Go


I'm going to be starting a new adventure. TruForm Armatures are putting together a website that will feature me on it, showing videos of me sculpting, like I do now on Youtube. Therefore my full videos will probably no longer appear there. I'll still be doing videos, but the everything I do videos, will only be on my website. Youtube videos will just be highlights.. If you want to see the full videos, you'd have to subscribe on my new website when it's up and running. When that will happen I'm not sure. I'll be making the first video starting in a week or so, once I figure everything out. I'll keep you all informed, and let you know where you can go to subscribe. There will be a fee charged, yet to be determined, on a monthly or quarterly and a yearly basis.. just have to work out the particulars. I can't pass up this opportunity. Again.. I'll keep you all in the loop. Love all of you who follow me.

Morning Joe - Video Part 2 of 2 - The Cup and Finishing


I created the cup of coffee and added it to the figure. I then worked on his hand and right arm. I then added detail to his hair and then added the chin strap. This isn't done yet but it's real close.. just some detailing to do. I'm taking it to the foundry and getting a bid on it.. then delivering it to the gallery in Ennis for the Weekend. Next week I'll be moving back into my studio. So I'll not be back till the 20th.

Morning Joe - Video Part 1 of 2 - Shirt Re-Sizing


I felt the shirt really needed to be checked for size.. to the figure.. The neck looked a bit small on the shirt.. it was... the width of the shirt from buttons to armpit looked to big.. it was.. so I narrowed that and that meant repositioning the shirt pocket. I cut the collar and lengthened it to match the measurement around his neck.. Sleeve is the right length so no need to change that. In tomorrows video, part 2 of today's, I'll get onto his right arm and the coffee cup
