Mowat

 Im writing this a year after his head completetion.

This maybe the first head that I have been moved to make limbs for.  I've already completed his hands and feet but putting them on limbs is proving harder than I thought.

What takes me so much time????? 

One, its hard. Hard to see the things in your mind and put them into real. It doesnt ever look like how I imagine it! Then once its made I dont like it. So I dont keep it. And that happens over and over again.

 Sculpting is hard. It doesnt move like I want it to. It takes technique and patience and time... all the things I dont have natural aptitude for.

Add in family, painting, friends, house, ect ect.... taking time to just let clay sit in your hands isnt always justifiable to me. 

So, it always takes me so so much time.

Would you believe I actually have sculpted another head after the one I am about to show??? He/She is ok... but not to the level of love I have for..... 

Mowat

This sculpt I love. Makes me want to put him into full body. And as per me, I keep thinking the hands and feet I have made for him are just not good enough... so do I resculpt them? 

More time.

Let me just stop talking and show you him

But there was something about him I still didnt feel was right at this point. So I asked a good friend, Izzy Zhao for her perspective and she noticed the problem right away!!!!

He didnt have side eye fat. And his upper lip was lacking

Aerith ~ a maybe name for a maybe baby

 I was able to disappear again for 3 weeks to sculpt.  

I am so grateful for these opportunities. It takes me a long time to create with clay and these times allow me undisturbed time.

I was hoping to make a head, hands and feet in this time... however, I only made a head. I just couldnt get it right for a long time.

Possibly a girl... most likely a boy. And I sort of like the name Aerith. 

Anything at this point could change. She may never even make it further than a shelf. What do you think?

Asa as a Girl

 Most of the babies I sculpt I see boy. I wonder if it's because I've only given birth to boys. But for some reason by the end, it's always a boy I make.

But lots of painters want to know what they would look like as a girl.

So here is Asa as a she.
