The Molds Find a New Home

In preparation for my relocation out East, I loaded up my molds into Gary Sax's truck and sent them off to their new home. Gary is the owner of Sax Antiques and Concrete casting. He is going to keep my molds for now. If anyone wants to order any of my pieces, he can still cast them for me. Here is Gary and his son with my molds in front of their truck.

Blog Suspension

This blog is temporarily suspended while I choose whether or not and if so how to continue it. The studio and I are moving to New York where I will be serving as a missionary in the New York City area. Normally, I would not mention personal details like that in this blog because I would like the blog to be readable by the general public. However, this detail does inform my creative decisions. It may be that this blog will be about integrating the creative process, specifically the visual creative process into my life as a missionary. Which actually might be quite interesting. The blog might also morph into a missionary blog. Or, maybe it will be a mixture of the two. Or, maybe I will stop blogging. I am going to take some time to stew over it.

Most Recent Visitation Casting

Here are the most recent Visitation figures to come out of the mold. These statues are Wisconsin bound...

The Quickcrete #1103 Saga

Today my wonderful Grandma took me to get concrete to cast the Visitation order. I called her after two friends who were going to transport me had car break downs and one trip to Menards ended in my Quickcrete not being stocked! But I ended up having a lovely morning with Grandma and then casting the Visitation. Hoping it turns out...

Mistakes

Today I intended to cast some more Visitations. Instead, due to transportation difficulties, casting is postponed to Friday. Instead, I continued to work on the Eden house mural. The light bulb in the room did not work, so no pictures because the lighting was terrible. Also tweaked the green in the landscape way too much. Will need to do over.
Here is a picture of Pangur the cat telling me that screwing up is all part of the process.
