Fourth layer!

The ink on this one is finally dry, so I can frame it for a purchaser. Some inks take much longer to dry than others, even if I use drier, and the dark magenta pink seems to take the longest, especially when the weather is cold. The panther looks pretty warm though!

Chocks away!

Passing through Vauxhall tube & saw these gorgeous wall tiles. A nod to Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, a magical meeting place that existed from the 1660s-1859. There is still a park of the same name in Vauxhall, but I wouldn’t call it either a garden or pleasurable.

My other piece for the Chelsea Art Society autumn exhibition - ‘Vantage Point’, a cheetah surveying the scene from a raised position. Jesmonite.

Process of a sculpture: idea, sketching, armature, sculpting, sculpting, sculpting, silicone, mother mould, casting, finishing. Absolutely not as easy as 1, 2, 3, but here’s a photo to make it look like it is.
