Some of you might be aware that this has been a long time project. I began working on it at least two years ago, so this is a milestone to have it released to the big-bad world.

This is the first in a series on sculpting the human form in polymer clay. Next will be on sculpting babies and/or hands. I know there are a large number of artist that already have sculpting baby information available, but I am looking at going above and beyond to make it well worth it to the customer.

I was told by Chris Baty that our region of ScriptFrenzy has gotten more PR than any other region. I wish I could take credit for that but I think the Kudos go to the attitude of the region as a whole. The arts community is very close-knit, and supportive of each other, which I suppose is a necessary for artists in an extremely rural area.

My goal is to finish my 20,000 words for ScriptFrenzy by the end of this week. Leaving the remainder of the time to do some much needed editing.

The problem with the site seems to not be the host, but somewhere between them and myself that the connection went wacky. But all seems well now. I tend to blame the weather; it was so windy we had power outages in the region.

Also be on the look out for contest in these Blog Posts. I want to give things away at least once a month.

New Lessons

The new 'lesson' is not so much a lesson as a 'helper'. It is an example of a 'Model Release Form'.

The second is an update of a previously posted lesson on Making A Mold with polymer clay. You can find both HERE
----------
Links of Interest
----------

The first link is more of a personal one than art related. Since my last post a devastating tornado hit here in Kansas at Greensburg. I am sure you have all heard about it. These pics begin to show the destruction of the storm.

http://www.kansas.com/static/slides/050507tornadoaerials/

The next one is one that I am still wondering about. Some of you may recall me talking about NANOWRIMO (National Novel Writing Month) last fall. Well, this June they branched out and began a Script Writing Program. You can find out more information at ScriptFrenzy.org

http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/

I am still wondering if I will participate. I was a part of NANOWRIMO for the previous two years, and this last year was a Municipal Liaison. Which just means I set up a place for writers to meet in my area, and I was in charge of herding them. The Script writing sounds interesting but I just do not know if I will be able to take the time to do it or not. Although it is only 20,000 words instead of 50,000......hmmmm

If it is ANYWHERE near as well run as NANOWRIMO if you are even thinking about it and have never done such a thing before I would strongly recommend it!

oh and btw the first person to leave a post here on the blog, gets their choice of a free e-book!
OK, now HURRY!
