Woman Hips

Kate, God bless ‘er, posed for me yesterday, and she hadn’t done life modelling before, and it’s not like we know each other really, really well, which maybe helped – I don’t know. All I know is it went really well and I managed to produce a couple of drawings that I’ll be able to work from when it comes to clay. We’ll have more sessions, for sure, and have already discussed other posses etc.. But mainly I’m just super chuffed to have something beautiful to work on. Plus the pose we did yesterday will help me finish off the woman with big hips sculpture that was done using an old sketch for reference, and that sketch was from imagination, not a model. It’s the arms and head that need work, or maybe just the decision to remove them completely. Bit worried the maquette of Rory will have dried out at Wensum Lodge as it’s been a couple of weeks, as I missed this weeks class, which will mean doing it again as clay can’t be re-wetted and hold it’s form if it’s been allowed to dry completely.

Have been on Twitter a lot lately. It’s one of those sites that everyone will be on eventually, and like a lot of people I didn’t really get it at first when I joined months ago but it’s gaining popularity and I’m discovering it’s just another convenient way to get information, stay informed and in touch with people you know, be entertained etc.. Reminds me a little of SMS.ac as it was about 10 years ago, before it slowly evolved into the rather suspicious FanBox. Stephen Fry is running a competition on Twitter at the mo, which involves coming up with a message containing 50 L’s. The message has to be less than 140 characters, including spaces! I came up with:

Don’t think I’ll be winning the competition, somehow. hehe.
