The wooden clay armature, Hello dear friends tonight I wanted to present a photo that would be a real insight into the making of a life size sculpture.
This photo shows the life size wooden armature that I created for a previous statue I've presented on here called The Glamour Girl. This is what's inside of the clay in order to hold the sculpture in shape.
The aim of the armature is to take the weight of the clay and the armature must fit inside of the clay the same way that a skeleton fits inside the human body.
I usually create my armatures out of wood, steel brackets and nuts and bolts and once the armature is in place and the figures pose is correct. I then cover the armature with clay and slowly build up the figure and face and any clothes etc.
Of course when you look at the clay sculpture, you wouldn't know there was an armature inside, but there is and it's a very important factor of a sculpted project.
I'll post again very soon, I hope you're having a fine week, keep well and Take care βΊοΈπ

Hello dear friends, hope your all well, tonight may I present a 3rd collaboration with my amazing artist friend buckhead1111. I like to call this one The Pink Pop art Tut. This is a stylish and striking fuse of my clay sculpture and buckhead1111's amazing visionary talent.
Many different pictures have been created in this style involving very beautiful colours and they truly are eye popping. It has been an honour to have met buckhead1111 and had these stunning images created. To my delight I will be able to present further collaborations between myself and this amazing artist.
Next week I will hope to present an update on my sculpture Wisdom, so so close to the finish now, just trying to get it to be as best as I can, sometimes it's hard to let go and say it's finished. I'll try to show something each Friday so that I can hopefully keep an interesting kind of blog going.
Well it's Friday so may I wish you a great weekend, keep well and Take care.
