July 5 The next three pictures show the stick figure. The first stage of sculpting is the stick figure . It has to fit into the sculpture without showing. Measurements are essential for making a proper fit of all pieces. Then the steel armature is wrapped with wire mash and packed with foam.

As you can see this new project is so huge that we had to construct a 35' high studio. we did not let it interfere with our work as we worked on the small marquetes in the old studio. Picture #3 shows three times life-size monumental sculpture in our climate controlled studio. This is so great after working on a hundred degree concrete slab in the sun for the past three weeks.
