You said, "Don't laugh." <BR/>I wasn't even tempted. You have a real gift. It may not be in the mechanics of your sculpting yet, and you will, I suspect, have to get past your insatiable desire for technical perfection. ((((())))) Afterall, these are human sculpts you want to bring into being, as opposed to your amazing flowers. Especially the type of people you wish to portray will be, by definition,imperfect. I have all faith you will get where you want/need to go with this talent.<BR/>The prisoner sculpt is such a good start. He exhibits a noble heart even in his incomplete state.<BR/>Love, PattiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235889128352131983.post-31740340848834591222009-03-03T17:48:00.000+00:002009-03-03T17:48:00.000+00:00Thanks you all so much for the comments….the feedb...Thanks you all so much for the comments….the feedback is very much appreciated.<BR/><BR/>Debbie...Definitely have a go. I hope I’ve conveyed how much fun it is...it really was an eye opener for me.<BR/><BR/>San...I hope you are right. I will keep them as a reminder and maybe one day I’ll see they weren’t so bad for a first attempt after all.<BR/><BR/>Rosanna...now you made me feel guilty by not giving him a body. I am glad he gave you pause to think though...that was something I hoped would happen…good to know it did.<BR/><BR/>MiniKat...excellent point. Strangely enough I am planning on showing his ribs some so imply his hunger...don’t know why I never thought of his cheeks to show the same. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Nikki...You have a good point about making mythical creatures. It was something my hubby suggested when I was getting frustrated that my faces weren’t human enough. Like you say you can go with anything. It isn’t something that jumps out at me though and personally, I sort of see it as a bit of a cop out at least as far as I am concerned. And that isn’t to diminish the work of the artists who create these kind of figures…I love them; I just have no desire currently to sculpt them. I feel that, seeing as how that isn’t what I truly want to sculpt, doing so would compromise my intent somehow.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Liberty...Thanks for the compliments. I am glad you are enjoying the other posts.<BR/><BR/>And last but certainly not least...Jodi. <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I admire your work so much that your words motivate me more than you probably would imagine. <BR/><BR/>The purest form of me...yes, indeed they are. I find my flowers fairly easy to make but sculpting...wow it really takes it out of me mentally. <BR/><BR/>As cheesy as it sounds, I put my heart and soul into 2 lumps of clay and I hope I never ever lose that.Tallulah Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14490186975270835647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235889128352131983.post-61144552867342156942009-03-03T07:57:00.000+00:002009-03-03T07:57:00.000+00:00Hi Jayne!Your little men are amazing.

I love the little hook idea at the top, I might just have to have another production line.

You should absolutely finish him...and then keep him close for inspiration and learning...I always told our students...the first pieces we all do we think are our worst attempts, but they are not... they are the ground level of learning...from each piece we grow...that's why it is important to keep our first pieces close (I still have all of mine) each day they remind us of the direction to head in, each day you will see something new that you could do a little better from those first pieces...and you will grow from there. All of Our first pieces are actually the most important ones in our lives... they are the purest form of 'You' the beginning sculptor...<BR/><BR/>Keep at it... and marvel at your growth <BR/>Can't wait to see<BR/><BR/>JodiCreager Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13614188104491419238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235889128352131983.post-74497957900731184182009-03-02T23:38:00.000+00:002009-03-02T23:38:00.000+00:00Forgot to say.

I do think though that some people are better at one thing than an other and i reckon you would be super at making strange creatures like goblins and elves etc. Perhaps give those a go and see what you come up with. <BR/>Thats what i'm going to do when my pro sculpt arrives. I think i would be good at anything other than a human face because you can just about go with anything rather than having to get it all perfect. Mind you, i had a go at making ears and have to say they looked anything but. <BR/>I love your flowers by the way and wish i could make them so well. Not my thing though and everytime i've tried i just end up with a mess. <BR/>By the way, do you make foxgloves? This is my favourite flower and plan to have some made or buy some for my witches garden. I don't want them to be too perfect and so will need to have a slight witchy twist to them. Perhaps withered leaves would look great.<BR/>Way past my bedtime. But thanks for dropping by my blog today.

It seems to me that in his sad situation he might not get quite enough to eat some days.<BR/><BR/>I like "pretty" dolls just fine, but the dolls I love are the ones who are real.

I don't know why you are not happy with them especially if it is soul you are looking for.
