TETHYS - WORK IN PROGRESS
I'm almost finished! This is the first sculpture from my beginning class that I really like! It is the first figure we have done. Up to now it's been body parts, skulls and generic heads. This is a reclining figure! Wooooooo! It is terra cotta and is about five inches tall and about 12 inches long.

The theme is Tethys, Greek goddess of seas and mother of rivers, grandmother of Poseidon. She is resting peacefully on a gentle wave. Just a few minor touches and she's ready to be fired.
