ALICE, PIPPO & more

Spring is here in Australia and getting very warm already.
What I love about Spring is daylight savings time, I love having that extra daylight, which I usually spend walking or in my garden, I have over 60 rose plants, about 16 camellias and various other plants, so it's keeps my husband and myself pretty busy, especially me as he's a shift worker, but I love it.
Here are some of my roses just bloomed.....

Of course, I've been working on a few things too, I've been playing with polymer clay... here's are a few dolls I made-                                                                                  PIPPO,  a cute Christmas Elf.....  he's 28 cm (11") tall

and I've made a new cloth doll, but she's a bit different to my usual cloth dolls, she starts with a armature the same as the clay dolls-

LIFE DRAWING & SCULPTURE WORKSHOP

Recently I attended a Life Drawing and Sculpture workshop with my 2 daughters, I was a bit worried about drawing a naked person, I have never done anything like this.  
I was pleasantly surprised in how much we enjoyed the day.
We arrived at 10 am, picked an easel and chatted with the model.
Our instructor made the students draw swirly lines and circles on paper while holding the pencil not how one would normally hold a pencil but as shown....... not a good hand pic but I'm sure you get the idea......

 

This way you use your whole arm to draw, we practiced for a way, a good warm up.
Then we began to draw, with some tips this is what I came up with..

After lunch we went to the 'Clay House', where we sculpted what we drew, it turned out better that I expected, now I can't wait until we get our 3 sculpts back from being fired, I will share the pics with you soon.
