My brother liked sewing and sculpting and making things, and my sister sewed and painted and cooked and baked. She's a professional baker now and makes the most gorgeous sculpture-like cakes. She's the queen of wedding cakes in the Lake Tahoe area.
You are the Michelangelo of your own life. The David you are sculpting is you.
Using the right colour is the most important thing. When sculpting is well done, it just looks like you have great brows.
I'm a classically trained painter, and I was an illustrator in New York working with Fortune 500s companies as well as the NBA and the Olympics. I first got into sculpting when I created a sculpture based on a painting I had done for the 1984 Olympics.
When I first met my husband, he was sculpting Vilnius out of clay - a sort of Vilnius, anyhow: a map of an imaginary European city based on the Lithuanian capital - to illustrate his second novel.
Sand sculpting is a performing art. Just like a play when the show is over, all we have is a memory.
I liked sculpting better than painting. You have more freedom in sculpting.
What I have in mind is not necessarily how other people see things, ... is different than if you were sculpting with your hands. I had to learn enough about the way the software worked to communicate with people about how to do the transformations.
For a while, I just thought that I wanted to be an illustrator because that's all I wanted to do. I also did some sculpting. It was always very artsy and very feminine, everything that I did.
I am not one of those people who lives for work. I enjoy sculpting and photography and tennis and swimming. I simply do not have enough time. My life is not in control.
