| The Murex Shell My Inspiration Piece |
Known for their spectacular frills and spines, you can see why I was drawn to this piece,
the design and texture are pretty awesome.
My husband and I both saw a cuff in this shell and it was just a matter of finding the time between sketches and casting to sculpt a new piece.
I think you can see where I'm going with this, before I added the holes it looked more
like a Sea Hare, So I quickly cut out the holes and photographed it.
I have a couple of projects I'm working on today, but in the morning I should have more of the ridges and points carved into this piece, right now I'm still building the wax up.
Day 2 Progress
...this is where "silver" sheet wax would come in handy for visualizing this peace before spending a week carving on this ugly green wax.
Not much I can say, still carving away but at this point I'm starting to bond with the piece and I'm starting to add character...this was someones home, it has history.
