UPDATE- Sculpting like a mad woman- day 4 and 5

WORK IN PROGRESS- 18 days to sculpt the panther day 4 and 5.

Now that the messy carving of the foam is done the sculpture is vacuumed and brought into the studio. I love this picture of him/her checking out the new digs before entering.

There are several people on our Panther Team, all of which I'll introduce in later posts. You have already met our big cat consultants from the Houston Zoo in another post. I have some pretty diligent helpers trying to assist me in making my deadline. Once the sculpture is in the studio we seal it with wax. This keeps the gritty foam from getting into the clay that will be applied to the sculpture.
