March 13 - Girl Clown


After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street footsteps dressed in red

And the wind whispers Mary

~ Jimi Hendrix The Wind Cries Mary

Anastasya Sokol teaches this girl clown on her DVD "Figures from balloons for modeling" (link).

It's always best to watch a tutorial in its entirety and then attempt to build anything - and probably doubly so for these due to the level of detail and the language barrier.  But Anastasya is a wonderful instructor, despite not understanding a word she says - she's able to communicate clearly with her actions what she does, and does so with efficiency.  She will build one arm and then attach both, or fast-playing through sections that have already been discussed.  You can see that a great deal of care has been put into these designs.

I have never weighted anything down the way she does with these - but I really like it a lot, in addition to the weight, it provides a nice bit of suction on a flat surface.  It's nice to be able to pose this without having to worry about it toppling over.
