I felt the sculpture needed to be lifted because it was very top heavy visually so I created the plinth (bottom portion made of same material that the subject sits on.) Great, all is going well and ready to let dry....but alas.....long story short... everything started to fall apart. This is because it was a quick demonstration rather than a planned sculpture. Armatures are very important.
Rather than piece it all together, I decided to fire the head, which is also splitting apart, and re-bag the clay for future sculptures. Here's the final sculpture.
Right now it sits in my studio, wrapped in a towel with the hopes of keeping it together. Let's see what I can do with it when and if it fires. Onward!
Regina, your art is superb! Too bad about this sculpture, she is a beautiful piece.
