Once upon a time I was a Sculpture Major in college. However, the wax dude here was not roughed out by me, but by my trusty husband, Todd. The Larry is inspired by the drawing of "Why Larry Talked to the Lake," still, the finished bruin has an aura of his own. He's been about two years in the making, and looks not much at all like the part pictured. As a good wife/drawer of the original it was hard for me to critique along the way, and just as hard for hubby to hear it.
I was a wee bit testy at times because Larry the drawing is "mine" and I wanted the sculpture to be THAT Larry. Todd the Patient did go along with many (some) of my suggestions, but was just as stubborn as I am, or more so, when he wanted the wax to go his way.... I did sneak downstairs once or twice to tweak a detail or two.
Now that the guy is finished we are pouring some waxes and deciding what path of casting to take. On to the Grand Adventure!
A bunch of bears are heading for the Majestic Oaks Boutique, at the Majestic Oaks Golf Course, near Ham Lake, Minnesota. Dates are March 16 - 27. It will be our first time exhibiting here, and we hope that the bruins will cause many chuckles and guffaws.
Lots of snow still on the ground here. Sigh and sigh. No flooding yet, but plans for much sand-bagging downtown Stillwater near St. Croix River. Thoughts are with those dealing with the earthquake in Japan, too.
Ever-onward and
Fare-thee-well,
Sue
