Philippe Faraut - Sculptor

A few years ago my sister sent me a youtube video link to a video of Philippe Faraut doing a time lapsed sculpture. I was memorized. I've done some figurative sculpture and have been wanting to do more in the last little while but knowing how I am, I figured the best way would be to take a trip that centered around a sculpture seminar. I've always worked at a tiny scale - not because I wanted to, but because I couldn't afford to use so much clay at one time. One of the things on my bucket list is to go to one of his seminars during my vacation. It'll probably be four or five years in the future, but I'm going to do it.

Another youtube video I saw that day was this one by Joanna Mozdzen. She doesn't teach seminars like Philippe does, but I learned some about the process from watching her video.

Soon, I'm going to have to get my hands into some clay. A year or so ago I did a few steampunk inspired sculptures with some sculpey clay and various metal found pieces. Those two pieces turned out great, but since sculpey is so expensive, I was limited as to size. The final pieces I made were probably not even three inches high.

Freelance Design: Selena Sews

Proofs with the two I liked most at the top... This is the one she chose - definitely my favorite - although she chose the one with the sewing machine for a larger sign she was going to do cut vinyl for. I'm looking forward to seeing these in action. A talented friend asked me to help her with some designs for craft bag tags. If you're interested in seeing some of her side-hustle goods, check out her facebook page .

Just do something!

I'm so tired of hearing about how politicians need to "compromise" and do what that particular politician wants them to do. I'm tired of those same politicians saying that there needs to be tolerance when they're the most intolerant people in the universe. This debt problem that our government has is a ridiculous problem. Anyone in his or her right mind wouldn't purposely spend more than they took in OR pay $1400 for a hammer that cost $8.50 at the hardware store OR award billions of dollars (they'd have to borrow from a foreign country) to someone to study the effects of methane on ants or some other foolish thing. If I could speak with the leaders in congress and the house right now, and knew that what I said would make a dent in their stiff-necked stances, I'd let them know in no uncertain terms that they were all fired and that we're starting over. Pay off the debt we have so we won't be in such a bind, get rid of welfare (cause since t...
