Stay with me.....



Stay with me

Don't be so quick to go,
please stay with me.
It's been so long since
I've had any company...

by Flora Thompson

My entry for EHAG Tombstone Challenge,I wasn't sure if I was going to make the
hand gorey or whimsical, I decided I didn't much care for gore....
I think it was a wise choice.

Simple base


clay characters added




clay letters added and painting begun


Although not a good picture you can see what it was going to look like with the bones painted to look as if the were poking out...

I am so interested in seeing the steps of your process, that's hard to do, sculpting a hand out of a wire form! What are all thos colored cylinders in the background, your clay? Very neat!!

Flora said...

Thanks Patty, that's such a kind thing to say and Brandi , I always do it the hard way I should have done the hand separately , I'll learn!!, the colored cylinders are my collection of paint tubes!!,
