Working in 3D – Stage 5

The Journey

•    Since adding the little boat, the name of the piece has become The Journey. I will call it finished for now but I know from past experience I need to live with a piece for a while and if anything needs changing, it will jump out at me. 

•    I firstly rubbed some ochre into it (from the self-hardening clay) but I decided that was too splotchy so I put some yellow ochre mixed with white on top
•    I have lifted the piece off the base to let the air get in to dry the clay mould. When it becomes dry and crumbly, I will dig it out and discard and should be left with a very light but very strong little sculpture.
