A productive weekend

That light at the end of the tunnel was a train coming. So work is still arse. But i have to admit it helps to crystalize the desire to be a real artist.

But this weekend i was a real artist! I did some waxing & some plaster. Even though i had to run into work briefly & had a visit from a friend with 2 insane children, i still managed it! I made a footballer, a speed skater & a dragonesque bunyip out of wax. Then i made a large head out of plaster. Dunno if thats gonna work out but its kinda cool to make something that big. Are details still details if they are really BIG?

Been doing wax work in the studio. I went in 8am both days. I never been able to work on wax before in the morning but cos its quiet there then, its been coming along sweet. Using the rice cooker to melt wax is a new way too, its faster to get started than using a hot water bottle to soften the wax. So now i have a better System.
