"Une Fille" Polymer Clay Sculpture

This is another older piece, but one that I love. She is Super Sculpey over a copper wire armature. I started using 6 - 8 AUG copper ground wire for armature way back when because it was available at the big box hardware stores. It was cheaper and more available than aluminum wire at the time and, of course, easier to manipulate than steel wire. The arms are ususally thinner aluminum wire. She is about eleven inches tall.

Ferrocement Totem Pole II

This is a two sided effort that stands about 8 ft. tall, made from a treated 4x4 post covered with hardware cloth and chicken wire. I've been using a mortar recipe that includes sand, clay dust, portland cement, builder's lime, joint compound, and asphalt emulsion. I used exterior wood stain to color it.

Ferrocement Totem Pole I

Made in 2022. This is a permanant installation -- an embedded 4x4 x 10 layered with hardware cloth and modeled with a ferrocement recipe that includes Portland cement, clay dust, builder's lime, and sand. Colored with exterior wood stain.

"Little Blues Man" Polymer Clay/Mixed Media

This little plastic frame came from the local thrift and is about 8" tall. I cut an oval out of a piece of 2x10 and backed it with some lauan to make a shadow box. The figure is Super Sculpey. The guitar is luan, toothpicks, and thread.
