I’m on a dog-sculpting journey.

It’s a lot harder than I thought! I tried sculpting without looking at a photo, and I couldn’t remember exactly how the leg bends or even where the eye should begin. You would think after all this time with our dogs I’d have it down!

Each little sculpture takes me about an hour , and that doesn’t include drying, glazing and firing. It’s definitely not a fast art. It’s a long process with absolutely no guarantee that what comes out of the kiln will look good.

I figure if I keep practicing one day I’ll be able to capture the essence of a particular dog but for now I’m just happy they resemble dogs.

Here’s to beginner sculpting and learning to really see, and learning as I go. 🐶
