The Processes: Bronze and Stone (The Evolution)

The Stones are here!!



Relaxing and the Studio space!


Building the Armature for bronze "Auto Pod" in China (video below)


I arrived and the studio was huge, a gigantic ware house that was used to store cars out of the bad weather. Some of the other artists were already working, but I showed up a few days late because of registration at the college. I was ready to work, six weeks is a short time to create two sculptures, so the metal armature for the clay work had to be built (it is cast into bronze later) and besides the stones had not arrived yet.

Over the Holidays

X-mas Day over at Pam and Mike's House



New Years Eve on the Deck



AHH...The View!!!Priceless!!!

Wow, it's been a while since I last posted anything...but with good reason, I mean it's not like I've been goofing off, I have not even been getting wet and that doesn't make my dive gear very happy. The new deck was basically finished just before X-mas and we started putting it to good use. Some of the pics are of the family, minus Corrie my eldest daughter, but we call and talk with her all the time. Some of the pics are of New Years Eve on the deck with friends having a few cold ones and telling stories (and lies) but all really having a great time ringing in 2009. The Island erupted in the roar and flashed with colorful lights from the many firework set off in show. Great food, great friends, and great times!!!!
