Well I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing 3 day weekend. I worked a lot on my deer skull, but also spent time by the pool with our local river otters, going to movies and just kicking back. I'm never able to swim by myself as friends are always here requiring a dip!
I finished up the deer skull (deer skull) and I think it turned out pretty good, being that it is really my first 3D type of sculpture. It measures about 3ft across and 2ft high. I'd still like to bend some of the antlers a little, but for now I'll sit back and look at it for a while. We artist can pick apart our creations far too much. I'm trying to be better about that self defeating act.
Thanks everyone for dropping in to view a small piece of me and my colorful and rusty world.

SZQ- great work - I think it has turned out really well - a big piece and the way you have cut out and textured the skull piece is very creative as is the texture of the reo steel that you have polished at the ends. Must say I had a real laugh with the whole leaping dog thing - I was actually looking for otters for a while - looks like they had a lot of fun. B
Dear Soo-zee-this is just amazing! Seriously. It has grace and elegance and...is sheer poetry. I don't think I ever told you but...I have an innate appreciation for sculpture. Being Indian and having grown up in S. Africa...Your piece reminds me of the classical beauty of Chola Bronzes (from Southern India) but...also a little African too. wherever did you learn how to create these??? Oh! I just LOVE it!
Hey...Soo-zee. Can I interview you? this year I am doing a series of interview with amazing, kick-ass, creative, fearless women and...you fit the bill! It wouldn't be anytime soon-just sometime this year! Just think about it and let me know! xxx
Oh! I am also going to interview another amazing lady that you may be interested in. She is a wood carver from S. Africa and her work is over the top beautiful too. Just google Art Propelled...her name is Robyn.
