Whew, boy.

Somehow I feel like I can’t wait for June to be over, yet wish I could have June back again. How does that work? Maybe every June is like this… LIGHT! We have LIGHT again! I swear everyone around here is frantic – like ants building and fixing and doing before the big cold winter comes again. It is hard to resist getting caught up in the busyness and before you know it – poof! – June is gone.

I’ve tried to eek out time in the studio. I can see the work that is finished – wish the pile was larger. I’m going to blow right past my goal to get a good chunk of the work needed for Dewey Beach done before the end of June. I’m being too hard on myself – the old kiln is working again thanks to new elements, the fiber blanket has arrived for the raku kiln I’m building, a pallet of fresh clay has arrived ready to be used, there are tiles and boxes and lamps drying. It’s all good.

Began a new sculpture — here is a link to the photo — its the first photo of the piece, a really rough draft. Then it fell off the armature. I started over and the “new” version is better than the old.

This time I didn’t take any shortcuts with the armature…

It will be life-sized when it is complete. I’m resisting the urge to place an evil Rabbit-Jockey on her back. (Anybody else feel like they’ve had an evil Rabbit-Jockey on their back lately?) I’m not sure aesthetically….

But the ears flying off to the back of the bunny…

Humm. I could always add it later.
