Final Sculpts for the ballet performance

The finished sculpts for the ballet recital!  Can't wait till next weekend.

Interpretation of Degas' 13 Year Old Dancer

I used bronze paint over brown to hopefully make it look like bronze.

Greco Roman Bust

Painted white clay and cloth

Props for my daughter's ballet recital

The project I am most excited about at the moment is making some props for my daughter's ballet redital. The story takes place in an art museum.  I am making a stylized Degas-type thirteen year old dancer and a Greco Roman bust.  Great fun!!  These are the works in progress. Hope to get them done this week.  Will post more when they are finished.

Greco Roman bust/papier mache (but will hopefully look like marble from the audience)

Building up features with paperclay over papier mache--drapery is painted fabric
