"Earth" Design Development

[Yielding]

Hello all..

Just recently moved into a new home and now have my studio back. This weekend was the 1st time back sense I completed the Phoenix many months back.*
This is the beginning of a sculpture titled "Earth". I have had the conceptual sketch for some time and this weekend was the 1st phase of development. The earth will be made of cement and the support of wood.*
I worked today on the support piece in a small scale. About 1/4 the scale. You can begin to see the skeleton of what the support may look like.




More soon... Yielding

Helllo...thanks for the looks and comments, feels good to be in the studio again

This weekend was spent making and wood armature for a full scale clay study model that I will use to design the lower half. When Im finished designing the lower half I will use the clay study as a guide as I begin carving it out of wood. Here are a few pics of this weekends progress

Thanks for your comments Lampburke.

Worked on the design on the sides last night, here is a pic where I left it for now. Plan is to create four different designs and then pick one for the final.
