I'm not fishing for compliments. Sculpting is my favorite activity (since I don't have a man, haha!) If we are to stay away from socializing, why not do something creative? Painting? Needlepoint? For me, a blank canvas or a lump of clay and I'm in Heaven! Thought I'd show you some of my work to be bronzed, to motivate you to do your OWN creative pursuits!

You are blessed, your work is spectacular.
 
WOW! How do you do that? I wouldn’t even know how to start. I’m not very artistic, but am a pretty good mechanic on cars and I can do handyman stuff around the house. My dad was my mentor.

Are those smaller statues made out of one piece of clay or multiple pieces?
 
What great work Gaer. You are so talented. I'd like to see them after they are bronzed. Do you copy from photos or paintings?
I enjoy myself so much just puttering around, sewing,cooking, baking, organizing old photos,painting crafts. that I certainly wouldn't call it stuck.
 
Thanks guys! Oldman: It's one clump of clay and a toothpick! People just say, "Oh, I can't do that!" BUT YOU CAN! Just try. I really is a lot of fun!
Ruth n Jersey: Good for you! I loved to cook too but now I have no one to cook for except myself and I don't eat that much. So, Why even bother? It will be a month or so, before they are back from the foundry, but I can post them here after they are done. Oh, No, to copy art. Copying someone's art isn't really art in my opinion. These are out of my head. I have many more, but these are enough to post for now. Thanks again.
 
Honestly, I thought you were pranking us when I first saw pictures of your work! Your creations are awesome! You have inspired me to get back to my music composition. I'd like to release two songs soon. I need my son to use a digital program to raise the volume in one of them. People keep asking me when I'll release another album since I've taken such a long hiatus. I have several songs that I need to tweak and have my son engineer and master, but I will be releasing them individually for digital distribution and streaming, since that's the way people are going now.
 
RE: images 512 and 538 - Could you introduce me to your models? (Just kidding, but they are such handsome men that you have created!) Awesome!

Duh - I didn't know you were a performer - BIG APPLAUSE! I was told repeatedly that I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, so I am really impressed!
 
Gaer, can't wait to see them after they are bronzed, will be more lovely than now.

Have to ask though....why the red ribbon on the first one, any significance?

Thank you Empty. I don't perform...too nervous for that plus my ADD causes me to get distracted easily. I used to play for the church, had the choir sounding really good but I didn't like it. Since I do have an album out there, guess I can be called a recording artist. I consider myself a composer/arranger/producer.
 
Lee: I'll show them after they are bronzed. Hope the foundry doesn't shut down. If so, it may be awhile. I'm puzzled by the ribbon too. I remember it broke in half at that point and I had to repair it, but, ?????
 
Too funny Gaer, I know some forget why they tied a string on their finger....you forget why The Ribbon....think hard, it will come to you.

The foundry e-mailed me. They are closed until further notice. My sculptures are bronzed but I have no idea when they will be open again so I can pick them up. and no, I have no idea what the sculpture will turn out like before I start. The sculpture tells me to give it birth. Thanks for your sweet comments!
 
Amazing art with your hands @Gaer! Keep these wonderful visuals posted for us to enjoy....my Mom was sooo creative too....she painted many pics, wrote poetry, cooked creatively....and I didn't seem to inherit any of it, but maybe I did but never tapped into it, hmmm.
 
Well, actually, i do have a serious question about sculptures. How many of you are opposed to nudity in sculptures? I sculpt a lot of nudes but some people are abhored by them and tell me to put clothes on them. I see nothing wrong with the human body, (looking at it artistically). I have no one to ask except you folks. Please tell me what you honestly think about nudity in art. Here's a few:
