This little octopus is part of my menagerie of works-in-progress. I think they are one of the most amazing creatures on the planet! . . . #Octopus #sculpture #sculpt #sculptor #paperclay #CastShadowsStudio #ornament #design #artwork #SculptureStudio #steampunk #homesweethell #animalsculpture (at Niantic, Connecticut)

I went to help out Rich over at @castshadowsstudio today and he made me this beautiful marbled #halfskull when I first got there. While I was finishing his friends, I put a finish on him too, then Rich showed me a technique for a #metalfinish and he was handy to practice on. I really love how this little guy turned out! If you like him you should go check out the other things that Rich has #sculpted and you can support him by ordering from his Etsy shop too. He had other #skulls for sale, but not quite like mine. Maybe if enough people ask he'll make more with eccentric marbling and metal finishes like mine! #resincasting #resinsculpture #magnet

Vanity and death...? It helps to get a different perspective on life...so I use a mirror when sculpting, painting or even photography! .

Faces on places...I think my interest in sculpting these kinds of things, began with seeing ancient Celtic carvings in book's when I was in middle school. This eventually lead to me spending vast amounts of time in quite a few library's, exploring the world's past through books and discovering the art of Egyptians, Japanese, and Europe, and others! At some point I started noticing victorian designs, like Art Nouveau, Gothic Revival. I especially love carved furniture and sculpted details on buildings. My fascination with antique griffin's, gargoyles and the green Man, became the basis for my own creations, the collection of works under Cast Shadows Studio. . . #Carvedface #GreenMan #facesonplaces #keystone #Victoriansculpture #caststone #RichardChalifour #CastShadowsStudio #architecturaldetail #architecturalsculpture #architecturalelement #gardenart #Gardenfeature #Sculpture #artwork #Etsyartist #gothic #artnouveau (at Niantic, Connecticut)

A wonderful crackle finish, that I think gives the effective of being antique, like an old porcelain glaze. I love this one! This another one of my test finishes that should make it into production. .
