I have also finished two pieces! Yes, finished, really and truly! THese two go together as a set and they are based on people very dear to me, but don't ask who, because its a secret.
These are a little larger than usual, and have no textile clothing per se, although they do have human hair.
THe first one is stuffing herself with feathers
This skirt was made from textiles and then transformed into textured clay using slip and glazing techniques which I am developing,
The second figure is vomiting roses.
I accept that yes, they are a little scarier than usual, but these two are made from quite a raw emotion and I wanted to keep that in them. They have got quite mixed reactions so far, some people just can't go near them, some want to cuddle them.

I'm still alive, just one laptop down, so back to using computers at uni only I'm afraid. I'm also a little ill at the moment so I'm less active on the internet as I'm less active in university, hopefully this will all be over soon though! Now... off to clog a sewing machine up with hair...
