The Fabulous Anybodies and Not a Sausage are finished. They’ll be small editions of between 6 and 8. The second Anybody decided to forgo the fan, as it was a bit cumbersome and hid too much of the hood. I’ll probably do one of each in brown and one in a lighter colour like green, then see about the rest.
The one with the blindfold has found a friend with a fan:
This one needed a bow on its hat. And tiny little fingers. The two up top will have an indication of fingers but not separate ones like this, except for thumbs.

‘In the business of creation you could use some motivation,’
Said the grim and ancient Raven from the Night’s Plutonian shore.
‘Are you lazing, are you drowsing, are you goofing off and browsing
On the internet again? Then think on this, and nothing more:
You’ll soon be dust, and what you haven’t written ere you pass Death’s door
Will be written — Nevermore!’
Finished at last. I’m proud of him. There’s been no shortage of work for a mourning bird this year. May next year be less grim.
Got patina. I’ll be showing this piece at the Lot 19 Spring Sculpture Prize in Castlemaine (Vic, Australia) on October 15-30. It should be a great show with indoor and outdoor sculptures, and non-functional ceramics as an extra feature this year.
The old new moon seller…
A flock of cocks!
Two crows, silent and noisy, back from the foundry yesterday. Bronze, about 42 & 34 cm tall, edition of 20. I’m pleased with how they look together.
