Thanks so much!
Yeah, I'm the same with castilene...It has such a wonderful pliability when it's warmed up and it details so well, like you said.
I started keeping a heat lamp on a block of it and that seems to take away that time to build up the form.
Definitely keeps my fingers from aching so much...
Saw that you were in San Fransisco...
My wife and I have done the Sausalito Art Fest for 7 years now...
Do you ever make it up there?
We love it out your way and have many friends out there...
Thanks again for the watch and for the comments on Fish Rider...
Take care

ooo, I like that idea...
Might have to take ours out of storage now.

I'll bet your work would do really well at the Sausalito show and others as well.

Best to you,
Take care

Thanks so much Evan!
I was just getting ready to harass you...
I'm going to try to have it colored, mounted and framed tonight...
I have a show this weekend where it will be seen in public for the first time...
I'll be interested to see how it goes over...
Take care,
Randy

Thank you so much!
I really do have the most fun doing fish.
The little rider is actually changing quite a bit, but for the better...
I changed it's posture, and a few other things, but it's reading a lot better now I think...
I'm going to try to wrap it up this weekend...
Can't wait for you to see it finished...
Thanks again,
Take care

Thank you so much!
Whenever I post two pix of the same piece, I should just clip and paste the same info, so that's my fault...
Thanks again for liking my work!

Thanks Joel!
I'm having a lot of fun with this.
This is actually just a relief, so it's only 3 inches deep.
I used some aluminum foil for the bulk of the fish body but the rest is Castilene. It's hard enough to be able to make limbs etc. so not much of an armature is required. I could have gone without the aluminum foil and used all Castilene if I wanted to, but it keeps it nice and light for this piece...
Hope all has been great with you!
Take care,
Randy

Thanks so much Jamie!
I'm really looking forward to getting this piece colored too.
I'm having a blast with this piece.
This is the first time I've tried to stick really close to a sketch that I've worked out.
Normally I get an idea and just start smearing clay or wax, but this time I thought I'd try to have the concept down on paper and try to nail that image.
I really do like that Casteline...
It's got a minty kind of smell so even better! Lol...
Again, great to hear from you my friend!
Take care,
Randy

Yeah, some time ago this image of a fish rider popped in to my head, and then when I started it I saw your piece a few days later and had to fave it...
I think you'll get a kick of the finished work...
Thanks again my friend!
