Baby Steps



Mama and baby move forward with their lives. Just quick shot that I grabbed shortly after the salad image.



I was all set to make a new piece today, had all the objects I needed except a book from the local library, and someone beat me to it. Don't people know I need my props?! Well, tomorrow I go to the used bookstore to buy a book that will work. I still run this operation on a shoe-string budget, but I'll splurge because I'm so excited about the image.

Also, I bought some interesting materials to make a pig out of this evening.

Thanks for all the great comments the last few days. There are a couple that need personal replies, and I hope to get to those soon.

You've got quite an imagination - it's like a whole new world of critters and creatures! I'm recommending your site to my friends =)

I love, love, LOVE your sculptures!
I am a fine arts student, so it's refreshing to see people out there who don't take themselves too seriously. Thanks as well for the 'how to' - I have been tentatively experimenting with wire as a material, so your tips are much appreciated!

Really good stuff man, keep it up

Keith said...

This one is adorable. I love your stuff. How long have you been doing this, and what kind of camera and editing software do you use?

The EYE said...

I absolutely love your work. You're definitely an artist's artist. Brilliant!

Terry said...

Thank you for all the nice comments. I usually start my day by reading them,and it's an awful lot of fun.

As for what kind of camera I use- nothing fancy. Everything you see on this blog was shot with a Canon PowerShot SD 500. The real trick is the lighting, I use to be a commercial photographer in another life. Sometimes I reshoot the image with an old Pentax 6x7 medium format camera, so that I can make really big prints in the future.

Devil- Three hours? Now that's a compliment! I'm very glad you enjoyed yourself.

Oh, and I didn't fully answer Keith's question- I've been at this since 1998 I think.
