Announcing Bella, the Moo Kitty!

Cat morphing into cow

Yesterday’s photos are raw cat. Today’s photos show the gradual progression to cow. I still have to add udders, a collar and cow bell and eyelashes. Then I have to tweak and sand it.

“Game of Thrones”. #56 Not a sketch tonight, more of a sculpture… made this chair for my husband’s 60th birthday. It took more time to find the parts than it did to make the chair. I might have to use this chair as a prop for sketch night! The chair is even more awesome inContinue reading “Today’s sktchy is sculpture, kinda”
