I was messing around last night with that white clay stuff that you bake in the oven. I was never very good at the sculpture part of art classes, so it was a struggle. Oh, well. Happy Christmas, monkey.
Stuart and I did some Christmas shopping on Saturday. This photo on New Bond Street (or Old Bond Street?) makes Churchill look a bit of a lech. We spent a lot of time in John Lewis playing the duck shooting game.
Oh, that's a GREAT monkey! Nothing whatsoever lacking in your sculpting skills! I love his hands & feet. He looks like he's talking very animatedly about a subject close to his heart. (Or perhaps describing the fish that got away).
See what you mean about our wartime leader. But maybe he's just craving a little affection. And who could fail to love a man who could at a steak & kidney pie, drink a double whiskey and smoke a cigar all at the same time...
i love it!!! the cindy sherman bad eggs were a hoot too. when can i order your monkeys and eggs? seriously though, can i put in an early order for next year's installation of christmas cards? also, a commission for some stuff? i can't believe that you're not "discovered" yet. you're sizzling hot;)
Honestly,it's awesome, not ugly at all! Especially the monkey's tail is so alive! I think you might lack of very fine sculp tools to smooth the junctions. One of my colleague told me, the most useful tool can be DIY and shaped whatever u like, and the best choise of material is bamboo. But i haven't tried it yet...
Thanks, Olivia! Sorry to miss the ice skating the other day! I went awhile ago to Streatham ice rink and it was a lot of fun. It would be great to do it again some time, but the special Christmas rinks are small and crowded, and scare me a bit!

I've been meaning to see the Rat City Roller Girls... My friend Lisa DJs for them & the online photos always look fun.
