I've been MIA for the past week or so. I started school. While in three dimensional composition, I thought of Christine. The instructor was going over the course outline. He told us that we'd be sculpting and possibly using the pottery wheel. I'm looking forward to it.

Probably a useless post, but I wanted to share.

I took it about 10 years ago - I LOVED it. I like the results as well. In fact, an artist friend of mine liked one so much that he had it mounted on a black granite block and it is in his living room. His house was recently published and low and behold there is was in print "just like Edna Ferber:

So, stick with it because I NEVER thought I would be good. I found that if I listened the instructions and then tried to follow them but also tried it my way, I reached good resuslts. The important thing to remember is it is all about having fun

The first day we had a project due at the end of class. We had to do a low relief image on copper tooling foil. It was fun. The latest project is very intimidating to me...a medium/high relief image inspired by an ancient culture on balsa foam.

That final topis project soooooooo sounds like a teacher wanting desp. to impress

But, I am sure you will do find and balsa is cool to work with

Just pick some greek relief and go to it
