Spent a few more hours on her tonight and finished up as much modeling as I intend to do on this practice piece. I wish I had your quest for perfectionism Garth - but I get bored easy and am always anxious to get started on the next piece.

Sure Julie, that's pretty much the meaning of an open studio. A place to get to practice making a "quickie" from a live model.

Geary, thanks. I always enjoy reading your enthusiastic and humorous posts. I can well relate to what you are saying. Hand me a piece of charcoal, graphite, pen and ink, and I know what to do with them. Throw color into the mix and I am TOTALLY lost!

Six hours! I'm still scratching my head at that point.

Wonderful!

Heidi,

My husband and I are in awe of your work. I especially like the peach low fire look. I was a ceramics minor way back when in college and understand the process you must go through to get this fired without breakage and I know you have some sleepless nights sometimes.

Thank you so much for posting such great pictures of your work. I would love to see your work in person - do you show in any galleries on the east coast?

Denise

Hello Heidi,

Wow, So beautiful, I am at a loss of words to be able to describe how I felt when I saw it. I can say it was pure amazement.

My brother does that for a living. In fact he was just commissioned to do a 9' piece of Chief Supulpa, for Supulpa Oklahoma. He is probably one of the best I have ever seen. But, I can say this, your work reminds me of his, similar style.

His work on Chief Supulpa will be shown live via Web Cam step by step. As soon as it is online, which will be soon, I'll let you know if your interested.

But anyway, you should be proud of this work it is good, very good.
Oh and by the way, I dont see any of your weaknesses you mentioned in it.

By the way I tried getting to your site but the link wasn't working.
