Am I a little uneasy about depicting Furries? You know it! I don’t want to inadvertently malign the community because of my preconceptions. I want my figures to be a positive reflection of furry fandom. Call it the ‘Fursuit of […]
Fifty eight year old me is riddled with aches and pains after finishing this monster of a mould. Still, it was a very satisfying experience. It really tested my limits. The mould was immoveable right after the last side was […]
The extended ear moulds were done first. No problems there. I was certainly right about the challenge involved in making the head moulds. It took several days to make the first. I decided to do a build up for the […]

My plan for last week had to change. I had to take a break from the main project to work on the furry friends, i.e., the cat head wall lights. A couple show entry deadlines are fast approaching. This pair […]

I gave the third tree a major update to get it ready for moulding. It just didn’t have the energetic thrust I wanted. Makeover time. Cutting up the tree trunks for easier moulding instead of having to make more complex […]
When I finished up the wax branches for the moulds last week, I was making final glaze decisions. The idea of bark will be conveyed in the glaze and not in the surface of the clay as I had been […]
