Yishu Update 25 August 2011!!

Zoooomm, that is what this weekend has felt like, unfortunately I wasn’t very creative in the clay sense, there was a lot of good films on and I found my self sitting there watching them and before I knew it Sunday night had appeared and I was getting ready for work, but Monday I was dedicated after a lot of scoring, cutting, blending, moving I had a rough form of a women, I also did the same to the hands!
I think the reason for not doing much was I spent a long time on the head and body for this piece but failed to measure up NEVER good, my advice to you always check and check again. so I ended up with a head that was way too small, so 8” body here I come.
I’ve decided I am going to scrap the 12” body but keep the hands/feet which I will bake and hopefully use in the future. I have been pondering a lot on the detail for this piece but am still undecided on what the base should look like I am thinking a bow of some sorts to match the shoes..ummmm

Yishu News!! 14 August 2011

Wow another week has been and gone and its the weekend again!!   My two projects Elena and Avenia are now finished and up for sale.

To view them please see my Yishu Site. So this leaves me free to complete another piece one which i have been wanting to create for a while is a pin up girl but there is soo many different styles so i am going to be doing some research and choose an era which i like the look of and go from there…

I have also decided to give the BJD a miss at the moment i had a very bad attempt at it and have decided i need to do a lot more research maybe buy a tut dvd! I was going to use carp swivels for the joints due to them being metal they would withstand constant movement.  ummm still in the thinking stages!

I also have a little dwarf hamster which i am enjoying, he is called Mason first living thing i have had to look after other then a fish:) 

He is super fast bless him just bought him a new wheel which he is loving.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!, i would love to know what projects everyone else has on?:)
