Finishing up "Unconquerable Spirit" with a Scarf

'

Started the video showing how I'd gone through photos of Southern Cheyenne Indians and found that they didn't over adorn themselves. Mostly they work scarfs. Oklahoma is a dusty place. I put the finishing touches on this 24 inch tall bust today. I'll be taking it to the foundry this week sometime to get a quot on the costs of re-producing it.. this will allow me to set a price on it in bronze.

Making a clay Eagle Feather to Scale

Today I scale the eagle feather that will adorn this warriors head. I create it using Print Master Gold publishing program. Printing out the full size feather, I then make an armature for the feather using cardboard and a cloths hanger.

Day 3 on the Life Size Bust

First time this year, I've found the time to work on the life-size bust of the warrior. I added just his hair today, and will pick up on it on Monday when I'll sculpt a couple of feathers to adorn his head. To all of you who follow my blog, I wish you a very wonderful New Year.

Day 2 of Tearing and repairing

Well today I'm tearing off arms, with a new vision of how it might look.. Still not sure what to do for hair or tribe.

Back at My Clay

Yeah, I know it's been almost a month since my last video. I've been busy burning DVDs and sending them out. I figure it takes me about a half hour for each DVD order. Today I decided I like the Warrior's face on my Life Size I created on my 4th instructional DVD, but not much else. So I start to tear off clay.
