Stressful Changes and Chopping

Really went to work on changing the design of the clay of the Mountain Man and his Wife and baby. I had to attack the clay, and get rid of most of the Mountain Man's blanket that once covered his head. 

Two Clays Joined - Classic Cars - You'll have to watch

Decided to combine two clays and to make them one. I'm calling this combo "Mountain Family". Both these clays had Instructional DVDs made of them as they were created. If you'd like to get those DVDs, just follow my instructions in the video description on the Youtube link. During a break today, I walked down to the end of the building I'm in to visit two great guys who had a couple of augmented old car classics.. Hope you enjoy that part of this video.

Thought's of what to do with existing clays

Today's video .. discussing what changes I possibly will be making to these clays to spark them up a bit.. They ain't singing to me yet... They're kinda humming to me at the moment. "Approaching Storm", the clay I start out with will stay the same.. just need to clean it up and repair it. It's been sitting for a while and the clay's cracked in places from moving it around.

Moving Back Into My Summer Studio

I've spent the last couple of weeks straightening and moving my studio from my bedroom back to my studio,which is a little over a mile from my house. I review my tools and show the clays collecting dust in my studio. Need to sell them to get them cast and nothing is selling at the moment.. Partially lack of money and the economy is the reason they are stacking up.

Delivering and picking up clays Coloring of a Bronze

I dropped off a couple of clays about a week ago to get a bid on them. I picked them up today. In this Video, you'll see a wax that's being shipped to a computer company in .. I think .. Oklahoma, to be scanned and then a resin copy will be made, 18 inches tall, and then it will be cast into bronze for the client who commissioned this piece. I also check up on a bronze that's ready to be colored.. well.. today.. at the time of this posting. I added a video at the end showing how the bronze is colored, from August 2013.

How I Edit My Videos - 6th Instructional DVD

I made this video to describe how I use my Video Editing Program on my Computer to create my instructional DVDs. In this one I show me working on 10 minutes of my, now, 1 hour and 10 minutes of video for my 6th DVD.

Still Working On The Mountain Man

Been working on the Mountain Man today. I added the blanket that he's wearing to get himself out of a rainstorm.. and here he's peaking from under it to see if the weather is breaking... This is a new Instructional DVD, number 6
