Casino Limbo-Character No.2

Sculpt no. 11 – Casino Limbo
Wallace Traveller Esq. (My Wallace was inspired by Nick Park’s fabulously whimsical claymation characters, Wallace and Gromit) is the second of four characters living in my latest sculpt, Casino Limbo. After having travelled the world, Wallace Traveller is none the wiser. He is, however, quite cheerful and full of cheese. His carpet bag is packed to the brim with molding dairy products.

(I plan to post each character individually before posting the full tableau – as they’re not full-view once positioned ’round the table.)

Well, I’m back on Instagram again. Not sure where it will take me or my new sculpts, but we’ll see 😊

Sculpt No.2 Imaginary Playdoh

The joy of imaginary playdoh. My first few sculpts have been created with airdry clay. In the coming months, I hope to venture into polymer. As a poor excuse for a kitchen Italian, I find the oven a tad out of my zone, and polymer clay requires oven-baking to set. I’ll get there at some point. Just not yet. This is Sculpt No.2.

Brick by brick, tooth by tooth the learning continues…

Here in Hudson Valley, NY, after the holidays with the trees barren and winter white no longer serving Christmas Card purpose, it can get bleak. This is the long stretch to spring. Any creating can be cathartic, maybe even add a little warmth in the fingertips.

I hope you are all doing well.

it was just a room

studio gone
it’s just a room
isn’t it
wasn’t it
what has been lost
it was just a room
if one is passionate
about their work
walls shouldn’t matter
or doors
only the spirit
only the heart
the room might be empty
but the mind is full
always full
if one is passionate
it was just a room
after all

Zealous Zombies

My Friends,
I hope the morning conversation I had with the big son gives you a smile, before darkest night settles into your bedrooms.

Setting: This morning. I’m in my studio working. The big son is in the family room connected with teen buddies via his mystical Xbox.
Action: Studio phone rings. I answer. Nana (my mom) is on the line with a tech question. The big son handles all grandparent technical issues.

Me, “MAX-”
Big son, “WHAT?”
“MAX, I need your help-”
“Ugh!” Speaking into his headset, “Guys, if I die just leave me there.”
Big son enters studio. “What, mom?”
“Nana’s on phone with a tech question.”
Big son takes receiver, assists Nana then ends phone call. “Mom, I was killing zombies!”
“Aren’t zombies dead already?”
“Yeah, but they can still run really fast-”

Ah, to be dead and still run really fast 🙂
Thank you. May you dream of outrunning zombies…
