2018 Progress Report: November-Part 3

During this week in November, I worked on one drawing and did molding paste work on two other pieces. Fiber paste work was also done during the week. It was getting to the point where the show was right around the corner and despite how fast work was getting work done, I always felt like there simply wasn't enough time. No matter how much I had achieved, there was always a lot more left to do. There were also things that would go wrong at the worst possible time such as having a glue gun break and finding out I made a huge mistake with one of the projects.

That's all I have for right now. Hopefully, I'll have Part 4 out soon. Feel free to ask questions and leave comments. Also, share this post with anyone who might be interested. If you want to support me and my projects, you can donate to my Patreon or buy buttons from my Etsy store.

11/21/18: My self-portrait drawing is mostly done at this point. I really messed up on one of the eyes but I didn't bother fixing it since I knew that eye was going to be covered up later on. You can probably guess which eye is messed up.

11/21/18: I started doing the fiber paste work on the bottom half of the the sides. 

11/21/18: I started doing the fiber paste work on the bottom half of the sides. It was a little tricky with this one.

11/23/18: The drawing is pretty much complete.

11/23/18: The drawing is now integrated with the ceramic part, though I am about to find out that I made a huge mistake on the back. I hinted at this mistake in past posts and I will explain it more in the next post.

2018 Progress Report: November-Part 2

During this week in November, I focused my attention on two projects. I was working on the drawing for one while I was working on the back for the other. My projects were quickly coming along though was still a lot of work left to be done. By the time the next week would arrive, I would continue working on the two projects below in addition to a third project.

That's all I have for right now. Hopefully, I'll have Part 3 out soon. Feel free to ask questions and leave comments. Also, share this post with anyone who might be interested. If you want to support me and my projects, you can donate to my Patreon or buy buttons from my Etsy store.
