I went into the studio yesterday, and to my delight, all of the work had been completed. So the few of us that were in put the studio back in order during the morning. After lunch I began working on clay maquettes for the 20 cm piece, after much difficulty with the clay, I think it is time to seek out some wax. Rumor has it there is a stand in the produce market that has some. Today, after waking up with an early onset cold, I spent much of the morning refining the maquettes and the afternoon and evening finalizing plans for an outdoor carved stone piece, if I get started within the next week, I should have just enough time to get it done, as long as I get a softer stone, soapstone would be ideal since it polishes nicely, but I'll take what I can get. The design can easily accommodate a different material if need be, probably wood. I shall have to discuss my options with the professor tomorrow. I also began one of the pieces I am planning to be doing for the duration of my stay in Zagreb, I best get the other ones underway this week.
I was talking with one of my studio colleagues, Iva, who just happens to play ice hockey. Iva plays for the Croatian National team and invited me to their practice tonight. I met most of the team members, and they'd like me to play while I'm here! I'll have to see what the fees might be, and more importantly, what the schedule is like.
Another long day in the studio awaits me tomorrow.

PS: I've posted some pictures from Venice on Flickr, more to come soon. Also, I'll get some pics of the Academy and of Zagreb up by the end of the week.

OK, Alisha, it sounds like you're having too much fun. Just kidding--I envy what you've been able to see and experience so far. And how about being asked to play hockey?? You go girl and have fun. Looking forward to seeing all your pictures when you get home. Take care, Uncle Tom
