I'm so sorry that I've been neglectful of my blog this week. Seems there just aren't enough hours in the day to take on everything that needs to be done. As you can see, I've been working my tail off getting ready for my next show in 3 weeks (YIPES!). The paperclay has been flying fast and furious. Problem is, it just doesn't seem to be drying quick enough. I have to have all the clay pieces built in the next week so that there is time for it to dry...and I still need to sand, gesso, paint, seal, stain, detail and seal again (okay, now I am stressing out :O)
Really focusing on the Halloween pieces for this upcoming show in Montrose. Traditionally, the show doesn't do well with Halloween collectors, but I'm hoping my new pieces will get them into the spirit (Halloween "spirit"...get it?...LOL).

OMG, I love WIPS!!! It's a Chicken Lip's factory, a one man sweat shop. They even have personality before they are finished!
I do have a question, how do you handle the noise? When I have a lot of pieces going at one time it really gets loud. You know, all of them talking at one time! Bwahahaha!
Great job!!!
Talking about STRESS! That's tables of pure stress.... don't forget about the dehumidifer I was talking about. You won't be able to blink in the same room with it, but it works great on PaperClay.... Love that sheep, even if it's not painted. The personality you put in them shines thru! xo PJ
WOW ~ You have been BuSy!!!
Hope this note finds you well & enjoy your weekend.

HOLY COW, David!!!!! THAT is so much work. I can definitely appreciate how many hours you have already put in and how many are left! You are nooooo slacker :)! They all look incredible already. I just wish i could come see them in person at your show. I truly adore seeing your work.
Thanks for your sweet message about Gus. You need to teach him how to sculpt and paint.
Woofs to you both,
Carrie
Funny, I just wrote a blog regarding all the things I'm behind. Well..., maybe it wasn't ALL of them but it was enough so I totally understand your stress! :o)

Looking through the sea of white and loving it!!
Wow, you put me to shame. I just finished a batch and was loligagging along and then I see your output. Oh the shame!. By the way I dry my pieces VERY Carefully in my gas oven by the pilot light heat. I put them in and turn on the oven first at 250f for 2 to 3 minutes no longer! then off. Check them every hour to see where they are, and carefully repeat again. But watch it, those Styrofoam forms love to expand if the heats on too high or too long. Keep up the good work.

Impressive cache of work Chicken Man!
OMG, how do you do it?? What's your secret other than getting up at O-Dawn 30, not eating, sleeping, bathing, etc., etc.!!!!!!
Out here in the desert Southwest, my paper clay is drying too fast...have to let my creeters dry slowly or it's crackville!!
Anyway, love your work and those smiley teeth...adorable.
Abrazos,
Georgina
