Wife and Mother
The styrofoam armature has been laid up with clay. The other artist working with us, Willis Chase, has done a marvelous job on the baby blanket folds.
I knew when I started the hands that I'd want to get deep undercuts cuts to define the fingers so we cut off the foam hands entirely. Then I laid in clay roughly to get the hand position.
The first picture shows the cut away foam where her right hand will be. The second picture shows the right hand roughed in. Note also the rough baby face.
