Hello Dear Friends, May I Present A Previously Shown Sculpture To You But Today I Show This Sculpture

Hello dear friends, I would like to present to you my one and only life size waxwork that I created of Madonna. I sculpted this many years ago and this portrait was based on her Blonde Ambition tour 1990 image.

This statue was sculpted in water based clay and then moulded in plaster and I created a cast in wax. I then painted the wax with oil paint and various makeup in order to create a skin colour. The statue had glass eyes and a full wig and was dressed in real clothes made by my auntie Sue Topp.

This photo is the artistic tint portrait shot of the finished work of art.

Happy Friday evening to you, hope you're well and Take care.

Dear friends this is the black and white photograph of my sculpture Tut based on the Egyptian king Tut legend . This was taken just after I finished the sculpture and was modelled in water based clay . I hope you have a great weekend and are keeping well during this time .

Hello dear friends, may I present to you the next in the making photo of my new sculpture The Lost Boy Of Venice. As of late I've been able to dedicate a little more time to this project and the little ghost boy is taking real shape now.

I'm hoping to have this sculpture finished by the end of this month, it's now just about adding final details and trying to make the sculpture as life like as possible.

I so look forward to showing you more of this project very soon, I hope the New Year has begun well for you, Best Wishes for 24 dear friends, Take care 🙏🤗🥂🍾🎈😌👋

Hello dear friends, can't believe that as I sit here typing this it's Christmas eve before we know it summer will be here again. My sculpture Wisdom is now in its final stages, tonight I would like to present a photo showing the back of the sculpture. I just wanted to show the last stage of forming the hair style which is close to the finish.

Next week on Friday evening I will show a side profile photo of the face and then on the following week I will show a full frontal photo showing the portrait finished. To the full likeness and detail etc, I've put a lot of work into this sculpture in the hope that I can make a very life like head.

I wish you a very Happy Christmas and I look forward very much to showing you the next photo of Wisdom, can't wait to for you to see this finished, Take care.

Hello dear friends I would like to present what I call my scrapbook page of previous sculptures. This is a selection of some of my previously modelled life size clay sculptures that I have sculpted over the years. All have been modelled in water based clay and some of these were based on actual models. These were some wonderful projects to work on.

Next week fingers crossed I should be able to finally show a first photo of my vampire for my sculpture called MMV, keep well and Take care.

Dear Friends I present a photograph of me taken in 1992 next to a life size statue I made of the late singer Michael Jackson . I'm currently 44 years old but when this photo was taken I was 17 years old . This was made of chicken wire and oil based clay and real clothes were put on the statue . I used makeup and a wig for the head , this was where my interest in sculpture began .

Hello dear friends, may I present the super close up of my Dino creature, shown here in a black and white photo.

Happy mid week to you, Keep well.

Dear Friends I present the artistic photo of my sculpture The Shy Peasant Boy , this was life size and modelled in clay . This was a nice little character to create and if you really look at him you can really see this little guys nervousness . He was shy and a little timid of people that he didn't know .

The wooden clay armature, Hello dear friends tonight I wanted to present a photo that would be a real insight into the making of a life size sculpture.

This photo shows the life size wooden armature that I created for a previous statue I've presented on here called The Glamour Girl. This is what's inside of the clay in order to hold the sculpture in shape.

The aim of the armature is to take the weight of the clay and the armature must fit inside of the clay the same way that a skeleton fits inside the human body.

I usually create my armatures out of wood, steel brackets and nuts and bolts and once the armature is in place and the figures pose is correct. I then cover the armature with clay and slowly build up the figure and face and any clothes etc.

Of course when you look at the clay sculpture, you wouldn't know there was an armature inside, but there is and it's a very important factor of a sculpted project.

I'll post again very soon, I hope you're having a fine week, keep well and Take care ☺️👋

Dear Friends I present a super close up of my sculpture called Tut , this is a side profile portrait photo showing the right side of the sculpture . This is based on the Egyptian pharaoh Legend Tut and is about 14 inches high and modelled in water based clay . Happy Valentines weekend to you Steve .
