Thank you Erica and D.L

I need to get a photo of the finished Passion before I sell out. I've already sold the first two before I had a chance to photograph it.

I finally got the piece molded and cast. It kept getting put on the back burner but it's ready now for the summer tour. Nothing like a looming deadline! I decided to call the piece "Bear Necessity" I hope you like it. Steve http://www.giftedhandssculpting.com/images/Bear_Necessities1.jpg h...

Jundo, I don't mind at all thanks.

Hey this is a new piece I"m finishing up. I call this one "Passion." I have the mold in process and now I'm trying to decide on what to cast it in, so please give me some ideas of what colors represent passion to you. http://giftedhandssculpting.com/images/passion_wip1.jpg http://gift...

Hey Randall, I went back in and softened the clouds a bit and tried to do the same to the mountains but I don't know if I am making them any better. Maybe you could take a look at them and tell me what you think. Thanks, Steve http://asingularcreation.com/Gallery/displayimage.php?album=17&pos=0

Thanks for your help Randall. Like I said this is a completly new media for me so any help is greatly appreciated. I'm going to go back and see what I can do with the things you mentioned. I'll post my results in a few days.

Thanks,
Steve

Okay, I'm bearing my soul here so let me have it. This is a completely new media to me. I just bought myself a digital pen last week and this is the first thing I have made. Tell me what you think. What can I do to get better at this? and what would the next step be? I was thinking of putting some o...

Hey E, it's a little bit slow right now. I probably shouldn't complain because come Summer I'm always too busy, but I guess that's human nature. I have been trying to get into some galleries but not to much avail. I did get into a new artist co-op in Acworth, gallery 4463, but I haven't had any sale...

Thanks Elizabeth. I am having fun with it.

Thank you Karin and Erika. Erika the riverbank is molded in a plastilene clay. In case your not familiar with what that is, it's an oil based clay that doesn't dry out. I knew I would be casting the bear and the base seperately so I used different types of clay so I would be able to seperate the two...

I finished the clay today! I went back and did a bit different texturing on the fur and I like much better. This is a new technique for me but I really like it. I hope you do too! Please let me know. I guess this is how we grow as artists. There are more photos of the piece at my website http://www....

Thanks y'all for the words of support. I hope to have this piece done in clay by tommorrow or the the end of the weekend atleast. I have to start getting ready to teach a sculpting class in March and I want to try and use the month of Fe uary to practice. Thanks again and I'll post some more photos ...

Hello everyone I have a piece I'm working on of an Alaskan Brown Bear fishing. This piece is a little over 30 inches high x 45 inches wide and 32 inches deep. I started a blog updating my progress everyday if you would like to take a look it can be seen at: http://www.artscuttlebutt.com/blog/view/id...

Hi Erica, Thanks for your response. No, no I don't intend to have the students finish a piece every class. The course is to take place over a 6 week period and I figure to have the pieces dry before firing.

I was just talking to one of my old mentors and he thought I might be trying to cover too much with mold building worked into the intro class. He suggessted I just have the students fire the piece. What is your opinion?

Thanks for your advice Erica and Ruddy. I appreciate your feedback. I'm really trying to get as many responses as I can to see what would interest everyone the most. I really want the students to enjoy the class and want to come back for more. I don't want to have that boring class that people regre...

Hey Joe, Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm going to talk about the different types of sculpture very iefly. I'm not trying to turn it into an Art History class, but then it's going to be hands on. It's an adult class, two hours a week for 6-8 weeks. I figured I would start them out slowly, maybe by d...

Hi Everyone, I am looking for some opinions. I am starting a sculpting class at one of the local community centers. I am looking for opinions on what kind of project to provide for an introduction class. I am supposed to keep in mind that the people I will be teaching may have no experience with scu...
