You know, I cut portions of his(/her) tummy out on both sides and re-did them to try to make him fatter, and it looked like it had worked at the time. So I think I must have squashed his tummy in accidentally. I'll try to push it out again and pad it with paper.<BR/><BR/>Boy or girl, the bear already has a name anyway! I'll explain once he/she is finished!Undauntedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600222853782999884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840948829877300435.post-55617886102485290122009-02-19T18:34:00.000+00:002009-02-19T18:34:00.000+00:00It's sometimes easier to assign gender to some pie...It's sometimes easier to assign gender to some pieces then others..I probably will have to see it's face first.<BR/><BR/>He (or she) is coming along very nicely!!

I don't know why I struggled so much with those front legs!<BR/><BR/>That is strange about the bunnies. Once the face is done I wonder if that will help me to decide?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Thank you Jafabrit! Wow, I've had such lovely comments lately!<BR/><BR/>The funny thing is I haven't missed class that much, probably because I'm working on my bear at home. But I can't wait to see Swanee!Undauntedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600222853782999884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840948829877300435.post-78439442946590527182009-02-19T14:11:00.000+00:002009-02-19T14:11:00.000+00:00I am thinking the same as painter girl, that your ...I am thinking the same as painter girl, that your form is really top notch. <BR/><BR/>I bet you will be glad to get back to class.jafabrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490900607853203086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840948829877300435.post-88993293254407735052009-02-19T13:33:00.000+00:002009-02-19T13:33:00.000+00:00What a good question!I assign gender to almost eve...What a good question!<BR/>I assign gender to almost everything especially things like our houses that we have lived in and our cars, and the most important...the Kilns!<BR/>I have only had one male kiln so far and he was a grumpy one. Very testy especially in cold weather.:) Hah!<BR/><BR/>I assign gender to my sculptures often. All the bunnies seemed mostly to be male and then one day I could tell one was a girl. It is a strange phenomenon. I can't tell if I assign before I begin to create, or if it happens during the process.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Love the polar bear. He is turning out nicely! And wow! That form is a challenge that you have mastered<BR/>with ease!Leanne Piziohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906128505167788108noreply@blogger.com
