Bears continue and a Halloween Party

I recarved the bears shoulder, as it was too high and long. Also, I have increased the depth of the hair texture. This was done with a masonry wheel on a 4" grinder. I will go over it a few more times to add texture and depth. It will be moved outside for the final texture. Having it out in the sun will help me to see areas that need more emphasis as well as areas that are a little raw and in need of refinement.

On the bears left side I am further refining the head and neck and applying a fur pattern. I am also cleaning up areas around paws, creases, etc.

I formed the faces with a die- grinder as I wanted to go slow and make sure they were positioned correctly, but now I have gone back with a 4" grinder to flatten out the planes of the bears muzzles.

As you can see from this view, the lower cub needs a bit more work on his face, but he's getting there.

Don and I are invited to a neighbors Steve Mcmillen and Alice Kimble's Halloween Party. Don is going as the Cowardly Lion (from the Wizard of Oz) and I am going as a Surinam Toad - they brood their offspring in their back. As you can see they are now in the process of leaving home.

Popeye takes a picture of Don as the Cowardly Lion.

Abrayah is a Goth girl.

A beautiful witch holding a cat with glowing eyes - it sings too.

Carrie and a Pimp. Of course if Carrie had gone to the prom with a pimp they would never have been voted King and Queen and her dress would never have gotten ruined and there wouldn't have been all those killings. But then that would be an entirely different book.

On the left is a Bounty Hunter, on the right a Lady Leopard.

Even Anthony, their dog was in costume. In case you haven't guessed it, he's a clown.
