The 100 HORSE PROJECT

My 100 Horse Project 🐎 is underway!

I intend to sculpt 100 horses at 1:9 scale (about 25cm tall) because I want to seriously up my sculpting skills and I adore horses. So far, I have sculpted 2 horses. Horse#1 is called Boudicca, Horse#2 is called Troy. Troy is the one with the longer mane and the ball-bearing eyes.

Troy's back legs are wonky, so I'm not going to do any more detailing on him. On to Horses #3, #4, #5 & #6 instead. The wire and foil armatures are built, and they all have 3D printed hoofs. Initially I am using Monster Clay, which is not a permanent medium. I want to explore lots of different sculpting mediums during the 100 sculpts. I haven't set a time limit and don't intend to, either. I love sculpting and I don't care how long this project will take me.

New studio workshop, new beginning! I inherited my Dad's tankards last year. They all leak, so today they began new lives as brush and tool holders in our new studio 🙂 #artistsoninstagram #photographer #newbeginnings #studioworkshop #missmydad❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CH3YConHskX/?igshid=joqdkgm5kqiw

12 Days of Christmas Wild Day 4: 28 Dec: Looking up: Wind-sculpted clouds. As a photographer, you always wish for interesting skies, and today's were stunning! I see a vague whale shape in this sky, and it reminded me of a sci-fi short story I read years ago: whales had been transported along with people to a new planet, but the winds were so strong that the whales took to life in the skies instead of the oceans. It may have been a Philip K Dick story, but I really can't remember - anyone else know it?
