About Me

My photo
Based in Northampton, UK, I live with my husband Adam, our Cocker Spaniel Bruno and Deeley the Bengal cat. I work full time as a Creative Artist / 3D Designer and part-time with my creative endeavours. I hope you'll enjoy reading about my work and other random ramblings, from the satisfying successes to the catastrophic failures! Still, it's all good fun, which is kind of the whole point really...

A bit worn out.

Well, it's been a little while since I posted, it turns out that burning the candle from both ends justs leaves you with burnout! I've been ordered to take things a bit easier, so with the exception of the TIBBP medallion (yes - it's now The International Blessed Broodmare Project!) I'm not going to be starting any new projects for the remainder of 2007 (it's only a few weeks but I'm bubbling with ideas already!). Here's a pic of the medallion as it is now, I'm adding a banner along the bottom, though how I'm going to fit "The International Blessed broodmare Project" on it I honestly don't know!
I've been doing a bit of casting, and now have a nice little number of special finish "Frodo the Shetland Pony" medallions, and have discovered Mica powder so my castings now have added sparkle!
I'm hoping to do some work on Jasper while I'm taking things a bit slower, which I'm quietly SO excited about, so watch out for an update on him soon.
That's about it for now, I'll post pics of the Frodo's I cast shortly, and hopefully Jessica will be started with casting the unpainted copies soon, she's having one painted up so I can't wait to see my sculpture all dressed up - I love seeing my models painted, it's like the final chapter to the their story!
