Brushed a layer of light oil white paint. Just to whiten its surface.

 After washed away the color isolating agent, the joint line can be clearly seen. 

I dont remember if i have to wash the plaster statue with soap water. I washed it anyway and i was afraid that it would break into pieces. Im glad that it stayed whole. 

These plaster molds weren't completely dried and i had hard time to get them off from the statue. It was all about labour work with exact precision. With my mistakes, I left lots of rasp scars on it. " What is done is done! " 😭

I was so afraid that these plaster molds weren't strong enough so i added extra layer to make it thicker. And it ended up that I had to work twice harder to open it. 

Pouring plaster into the molds that secured by metal wires and ducktapes. I got extra hands. I couldn't do it by myself because it was way too heavy. 

 I had to be very careful not to damage the molds while digging out the clay of statue. Before that, I forgot completely to take pictures of how i made these two pieces of mold out of my clay statue. 😩

Oil based clay statue.

I actially did this small still lifea about two weeks ago. It was a quick sketch and i thought I'd have more time to work on it. It's an one and an half hours work. There are not much brushstrokes to show the details but I like its simplicity. I feel peace and quiete when i look at it.

Dont you think life is a glass of fire?
Fascinated yet so fragil

A friend of mine sent me this quote: "A man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor. " Alexis Carrel. Yes. It is so true and cruel at the same time. Like the glass of fire, it sparkles after the return from the hell. Lately, some friends and people who surround me have been suffering under different circumstances. I tried to help but I wonder how much i could do? I still remember, years ago, i went through a personal task and it almost beat me. I am still here all because a friend of mine helped me. She simply told me that I should focus and be strong and that I was the only one who could get myself out of it. It took me awhile to undetstand the words she gave me. Now, I am so glad that i made it. Guess, I should feel positive and try my best to support my friends. Life goes on, no matter how hard, how long the journey takes.
