Ugh!

I am halfway done with the satyr. He looks great but once again I got ahead of myself. I always rush to start on the project without taking a step back to think of the whole picture! The only thing that is left for me to finish are the arms. Now I start thinking, hummm whats he doing?? Geez, now I am sitting here thinking what kind of scene am I going to put him into... who is going to be in it? So, today's lesson learned--Always think of the full picture before starting a project!!
Direction, Direction, DIRECTION.

Finished mermaid, Start of Satyr

I finished my mermaid, and she came out nice. There are always things that I look at and could pick apart the whole thing, but that is one bad habit I am trying to work on. When I look at her, her eyes scream let me out of the jar that you caught me in! Her eyes may scream that but I haven't found a jar big enough to put her in yet. That will be my next mission when I go to the thrift shop.
Last night, I got home after a relaxing Saturday out with my family. The boys quickly hopped on the T.V. to play some Call of Duty. So what's an artistic girl to do--Sculpt! I love when they are occupied with activities because that is my time to sit, relax and let my imagination come alive. So last night amid the gunfire and calls for enemy spyplanes I decided to try to come up with my first sculpted scene. I have always put off sculpting a satyr so why not incorporate him into a scene. So I looked up the myth of the satyr on the internet and the first thing that pops up is they love wine ( I knew I liked these fellas for a reason :) and they loved chasing nymphs. These guys are drunk horney bastards! Well, I think I will leave the horney part out of my vision but the wine is something I will run with.

A new beginning

Today, I have decided this is how I will gather my thoughts on all these ideas I have circling my head. They all seem to spill out onto the clay. Each day a new idea and interest is lost on the project I am currently on. So here I am to put some structure into my art. Here I go........to finish my current project, a mermaid.
