Some ideas for hand tesselations

Well the pidgeon holes are finished. It was satisfying to have something work from start to finish for a change. I have decided to fill it with 'things that people use to categorise others' like cars and tellies. Hopefully I will be able to get a lot of them from a toy store, as I don't want to make them all out of clay. But I suppose I will have to see what I can find and make what I can't. The box that is to be filled with miscellaneous things I am still pondering on. But there is plenty of time to figure it out as I am still waiting to here about booking a time at this gallery... Should probably send another e-mail.
When I get a chance I will post a picture of this one, and the other that stillisn't showing.

I guess this is what happens when I get all skitey and boastful. The fat business man's legs broke off just below the knee, his crotch cracked and then he split his side - not through laughter either. I had gone out to my work room to finish his arms and head, but found him in pieces, much to my dismay! So I pummelled him back into a lump of clay and have started on a different idea instead. I can't deal with these figures anymore - for a while at least.
I decided to go with some slab work, something that I have more experience with, so I shouldn't come up against so many disappointments. Then once I have finished that I will try again with the naked figures. But I think I will make them smaller and solid rather than hollow.
So the idea I have started in the mean time is idea no. 8 - Pidgeon Holes all holding like objects with one 'stuffed' with miscellaneous things. So far so good, although I am still in the process of making the pidgeon holes themselves and not yet decided what to do as far as the objects I will fill them with, something to ponder I guess as I finish the slab work.... Will post a pic when I get a chance. By the way I am still waiting for the pic Aaron took to be posted on his web page so's I can paste it here... All in good time I guess!

Ohh S'ah! it's all coming along pretty nicely now. The fat business man is taking shape, and at present is laying down on a pillow in my clay room so that he doesn't distort. The use of coils has been my saviour, rather than just sticking bits on and moulding him to shape as I was in previous attempt. So finally I have a near complete figure, that just needs a little sculpting to look 'real'. He stands at about 40cm in hight, and has a big belly. Nice!
I also started a woman, she has pretty wide child bearing hips, but nothing past the waist at the moment so she stands upside down awaiting some more attention from me. Nice feet though, if you're into that sort of thing...
I'll get Aaron around shortly to take some photos of them both soon while they're still in their early stages so you (and I) can see how they are evolving.

For some reason the picture for this isn't appearing - I'll have a look into that and fix it when I get a chance. Anyways, this is the first finished piece, I still haven't decided what to call it, but am thinking along the lines of something like "Where do I belong?"
