From The Workbench
My starting point is my sketch book,
where I doodle around with variations
on themes,or paste in inspiring photos
and reference pictures.
When an image grabs me I'll work out
a rough 3D model in clay or balsa wood.
For small pieces its easy to transfer
an outline of the main view onto a wood
block then cut it out with a jigsaw,
giving something like a giant jellybaby.
Then, you pick up your knife and gouges
and turn your jellybaby into a reclining
nude, or whatever.
