This is a split mold, which means I poured it as a single block and cut it open for casting. Check out the below picture to see the original sculpt set up for molding. I put vents in the middle to prevent air bubbles. The blocks beneath the caterpillar are reservoirs to make pouring the resin easier.
Get your own cutie this Saturday at Galeria Regina, 5-9pm.
Another Woolly Caterpillar, grown from dreams, a sweet fuzzball living in an alien flower-scape. This one has been adopted, but there are still a couple colorways left! Check em out in person, along with new art by @ryshu and @danielcurranart at Galeria Regina, this Saturday 9-5pm.
Say hello to this cutie and see the rest of the bunch at the encore reception of Journey to Terra Flora at Galeria Regina Saturday, August 17th, 5-9pm. There’s still lots of cool art available!
This sweet little Woolly Caterpillar has been adopted, but there are still a couple up for grabs! Each one is unique, no two paint jobs the same.
See these cuties and more at the encore reception of Journey to Terra Flora, Saturday August 17th 5-9pm at Galeria Regina.

Journey to Terra Flora opens July 13th at Galeria Regina. Link to event in bio. RSVP for details.

It’s as time consuming as it looks, tedious but strangely satisfying. The time I spend on details now sets me up to enjoy painting it down the line. ??
This shows me working on the core form of the caterpillar. That’s a tiny crockpot off to the side keeping my clay warm
Process heavy art is slow at the beginning, but it’s worth it to take time to plan. I can’t wait to start color tests! But I will, because I have other work to do first ?.
