This has been, and still is, a difficult project for me.  I think it may be getting a bit easier, but we will have to see how that pans out! There is some (well quite a bit of) technical challenge here, but the real issue is persistence.

It is so very very necessary to struggle on past the “it will never look like anything but a piece of crap” stage!  And I have been procrastinating for the past 10 days or so.  I may manage a half hour of work, then I give up and do something (anything!) else for the rest of the day.  This puts me in a rather odd fatalistic & hopeless mood, not improved by the current political climate.

At last this project may be moving forward.  I think am in transition to the “there is some small hope that I may like this a little bit someday” stage… TBD! This has been more serious than the “now it looks terrible, I hate it” phases that are inevitable but usually short-lived.

One goal is to get the three part sculpture starts above to something that embodies the concept drawing at right. The other goal is to end up with pieces I can use to make molds for casting on other materials.  So wish me luck please!
