For years, I’ve collected books. By now, I’ve got quite a few. They’re mostly related to ceramics or art. Some go back to my childhood. Sadly, we’d grown apart, me and my library, since the internet showed up. Who reads books anymore? Even I don’t, and I’ve got a killer collection. So, it felt good the other day when I pulled this oldie out as a reference for this bust. It’s been awhile. It felt really good.

Working on a bust. After detailing the eyes, I came downstairs to clean up the neck & shoulder area, only to discover it’s already quite firm/dry. It amazes me how something so thick (it’s solid clay) can dry out so quickly. Moral of the story? Always be moisturizing... . . #figurativesculpture #figurativeart #greenware #shoulders #ceramics #neck #bust #clay
