Dryad - based on the woodland nymphs who inhabit the trees or tree spirits. I think I'm going to make a series of these.

Dryad - work in progess. Building up the trunk of her body using the bark texture. I've changed the layout of the branches a few times. I'm hoping to capture a unity between the two forms, one emerging from the other. #dryad #mythology #treespirit #figurativesculpture
Dryad- work in progress
Pressing clay into tree bark to create texture. I am beginning to make my first Dryad (nymph or nature spirit who inhabits trees) this texture was taken from our willow tree. I'm hoping to make a series of these.

I've finished modelling the forms, so the next stage is mould making. I've made two-piece press moulds, using several layers of mod roc, followed by a layer of plaster for strength.

A couple of heads made using my new fossil hoard from Lyme Regis.
My fossil hoard from a recent trip to Lyme Regis. I bought these in The Old Forge Fossil Shop (image of T-Rex skull in their shop window). I didn't manage to find any fossils on the beach but I'm really happy with the ones I bought, I can't wait to use these in my work.
