That looks like a genie! Very clever shot.

I prefer sculpting nudes from life, but the group that I work with voted to go with a costume after a few nude sessions. I added the clothing and had fun doing it.

This photo brought me joy today. Thank you. ❤️

I would like to find a body sock like the one used in your lovely photo, but haven’t had any luck finding one online. Might it be known by another name? Thank you.

I wish that i could state why i find this photo so exciting. It’s remarkable! Thank you.

Seeing this picture put a smile on my face. Thank you for your kindness, for sharing.

What a fun photo!

This photo made me smile! Thanks!

Forgot to show the rear of the piece!

Five castings, three that I can work with. I tried an iron finish with a rust patina on one today, but the rust didn’t develop. Today is the last day of September, my self-imposed deadline. Didn’t quite make it. Did some good work and made a great run of it.

I love this! I have a friend that I work with that is looking for a (body stocking?) similar to this. Do you have any suggestions where we might look? I’ve tried eBay, but perhaps I’m calling it the wrong thing. Thank you.

Thank you for the shopping tip!

Lovely! My friend and I are looking for a fabric tube like this for our art work. We haven’t been able to figure out what it’s called or how to find anything like it. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you for sharing your art work!

Fabulous photo; great play of light and shadow! Faboo physique! It will be a lucky drawing group that gets to have you as an art model.

I quite enjoy your descriptions of memories associated with the photos. Thank you for sharing.

Hey brother! I posted the Thursday evening clay sketch here.

Half life size portrait of @john Carrasco done over the course of three Thursday evenings at Dogtown Sculptors in Berkeley, CA. Fun person, fun sculpt.

Particularly beautiful feeling to this one!

What very interesting animal skull is that?

Still playing with this piece I did that Leigh inspired over twelve weekly group sessions.

A ‘quick’ three hour sketch of Leigh and another that took ten or so hours. I love how she displays the pieces around her home and shares photos.

No, but thank you for asking.

That’s beautiful! Thank you for sharing that.

Lovely drawing! Who was your model?

From seven Sunday sessions with a very large (kind and friendly) man. He was leaning on a pole, but I thought this was a fun idea. 24”, oil based clay. I love doing this. I am so fortunate. (I hope that the pics fit whatever size requirement Bluesky has. I had a tough time with that on IG.

Thank you for the kind reply and advice!

That’s brilliant! That’s exciting, and I’d love to try it. What (block of rubber? Tools?) does one shop for to do that?

And I’m smiling again. Thank you.
