It was a busy week of mould making. Many smaller components were dealt with. The slip moulds for several branches, the garbage can and liner, the bench planks and standard are now drying. Feels like things are going in the […]
When I tried to seriously pose one of the action figures to see what I needed to build, I quickly realized the backs of my benches were too high. No seated furry could have their arm on top of the […]
The bench evolved in a very organic way. When it came time to get started, using resin no longer made sense. What I needed to do was explore. Plaster and wax are better for that. Resin is for when you […]

The week didn’t go exactly as planned. A deadline was temporarily moved up causing me to panic. The date was moved back after a couple days but I had already become determined to push through the Cat Light I posted […]
The figure I have been working on in the tree is one possibility. In my mind I am starting to see something more dynamic. Will take this figure out and clean it up but not make any final decisions until […]
The tree was a breakthrough for me. I had been uncertain up to now exactly what the setting would be. Returning to the bench and tree scenes of the tile work will give a sense of place. I am always […]
There are lessons that must be learned when working with wax parts. It took a few tries to get the process working. Plenty to learn still. I had imagined that I would just tack the wax parts together with a […]

I have added another mould making method to my practice this past year that I had known of but never much used before. Plaster is poured all around the object. The set plaster is split in controlled ways. The rough […]
