It's already Wednesday

Got out and walked very early this morning, before the sun was up as we have Heat Advisories now. The downside to being out so early is it's hard to come back in. I see so many things to do in the yard. You'd think it would be easier to spend my time working in the clay but I'm not finding that.

Here's a picture of the current sculpt, with the face cut off. I made the entire head smaller, changed the position some to match a picture I like. It will be harder to do though, especially if I add the wide smile -- but that's how she always looks. I should post that picture -- next time. I'm not too good at getting these pictures where I want them in a post. A note here, I'm going to teach an on-line class this fall using some of the techniques from forensic sculptors and one of those things will be teeth. There is so much more to the mouth and teeth than we think -- which ones show, where does the lip meet and so on.
I've rounded up a few old pictures so will post some the next time, nothing fantastic, just pictures. I'm notorius for forgetting to take pictures prior to sending out a piece. Sometimes I can get them later, sometimes not - usually the ones I wish I had :) Trying to do better these days, and take pictures in progress.
