Sculpting Frenzy; Aching fingers, hands and arms

I adore these intense times of sculpting. 

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, my hands were in a frenzy, barely able to keep up with where my mind was directing the sculpting tools.

A bull terrier, a Westie, multiple pineapples, another magnolia, a flag, a musical instrument piece, a historic church, "The Last Cotton House" (an exhibition piece)...have all emerged from the porcelain clay this week. 

Honestly, I credit God's inspiration and direction for intense creative times like this week.

I wish I could show you what I have been working on...but not yet.  The introductions of these pieces are October 6, October 15, December 1, February 2008, April 2008 and July 2008.  Lots of behind-the-scenes work to be done between now and those release dates.

Hubby Gordon has been rubbing my fingers and hands and forearms tonight. All this sculpting is like running a long marathon for my hands!

You know those "good" aches and pains from accomplishing a challenging task? Yep, that is me tonight...exhausted but happy.

What fun Penny! And how wonderful to have a dear hubby to soothe your sore muscles at night.
