These are all views of one form. As I was making these objects I was handling them in my hands, as opposed to carving them sat at a table. I was aware all the time of how they looked and felt from all angles. They evolved, as I'd form a curve I liked, then move the clay round until another interconnecting shape felt right, that 'worked'.I've never created something out of nothing before, I always paint or draw, from life, or from other images. But I love these little figures that have come out of my imagination. In fact, while making them it was more like I was making them from memory. This is about 6" tall.

Absolutely love these shapes and forms, Steph. Whatever finish you decide upon please think 'tactile' as I'd love to explore them with my fingers in the same way you described in making them. God, but you are an artist, girl. Your admiring Dad.

Congratulations on the star letter in A&I!
Thanks Dad. They really were made with the fingers, and not with the eyes.
And thanks Mel, too. Looking forward to next week with you.
