When Bonetown Studio was first coming to life, I challenged myself to create 30 heads in 30 days. I recreated this challenge and shared it on social media in 2025. Watch the videos below to see how I make my work.
When Bonetown Studio was first coming to life, I challenged myself to create 30 heads in 30 days. I recreated this challenge and shared it on social media in 2025. Watch the videos below to see how I make my work.
Day 17 - I combined yesterday’s video with today’s to answer the question: how long does it take to make one of those?
Day 16 - Give me a hand. The hands are the tools of the soul according to Carl Jung.
Day 14 - Some days you don’t know what to make, so you just begin.
Day 11 - Growing up we had Creature Features on Saturday afternoons. Today’s challenge: Monsters
Day 10 - I did not realize the connection between what I was making and how I was feeling until some time had passed.
It was in the looking back that I saw the connection.
Day 9 - I open my sketchbooks and share some images that became sculptures
Day 8 - Into week 2 and now it’s starting to feel like a job!
Actually, I return to the prompts jar for inspiration
Day 7 - Rest
My favorite thing to do is sleeping. It’s free and it turns out it’s also good for you.
In this video I show you how to make torn clay hair and also include a portrait that a friend painted of me
Day 6 - Going Large
The first time I built large I almost stopped.
I started feeling overwhelm and fear.
Fear of things not working out
Fear of my vision not coming out exactly the way I wanted it to. Fear of Failure.
At least, that’s what I thought I felt at the time.
Now I know it was also excitement.
Of the unknown
of possibility
of what will happen
Next
Day 5 -The feelings wheel
I never knew there was such a thing.
Someone has compiled all of our emotions onto a color wheel.
It’s like a flow chart from confusion to clarity
Some emotions are easy to decipher:
Excited is joy
Shocked - Surprise
But it was the trickery feelings that were an eye opener to me
The emotions that sit at the top of the chart.
The blues and the purples. I was surprised to see:
Guilt = Sadness
Inadequateness = Fear
Day 4 - Growing up my mouth was too small for my teeth.
It was a genetic thing.
As my grown-up teeth grew in they crowded together
like so many people on a too full subway car.
My mother decided something had to be done.
So I got braces.
I have always been fascinated by teeth.
Especially the kind that are a bit wonky
and not so white that you need to wear shades
Day 2 - For today’s challenge I received your prompts, collected them in a jar and decided to put my hand in and try one on for size.
Day 1 has me looking to my sketch book for inspiration.
I am creating work for an upcoming show titled:
Celebrating the River.
I have been planning a fleet of fish cars and a whole bunch of swimmers.
The show opens in August at the Stover Mill Gallery in Erwinna, PA.
The origin story of my very first 30 heads in 30 days challenge began with the thought:
I don’t want to do this anymore.
