Henry IV part one

For Henry IV part one, I made Sir John Falstaff. He has been described as a corrupt Santa Clause, a corrupter of youth, and a drunken, gluttonous, lying coward. Here's a quote from the play that commences after Sir John asked what time of day it was.
"Thou art so fat-witted with drinking of old sack, and unbuttoning thee after supper, and sleeping upon benches after noon, that thou hast forgotten to demand that truly which thou wouldst truly know. What a devil hast thou with the time of day? unless hours were cups of sack, and minutes capons, and clocks the tongues of bawds, and dials the signs of leaping-houses, and the blessed sun himself a fair hot wench in flame-color'd taffata; I see no reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous as to demand the time of the day." 
Though all this may be in the highest degree unflattering, still Sir John is one of Shakespeare's most memorable characters, and while reading the play one might unwittingly take Sir John's side and end up rooting for him instead of Prince Hal.

Shakespeare Sculpting Challange!

 I am a huge fan of everything Shakespeare, and I love sculpting in polymer clay, so I thought, why not try to make a character from each of Shakespeare's plays in, say, a year. I gave my self a large enough time frame since I am a full time student now, which also means I probably wont be posting every day, but I will try very hard to keep everything updated.
I will be making all my figures out of a polymer clay called Super Sculpy, with a foil and wire armature (core), colored with acrylics and chalk pastels. I have Sir John Falstaff from Henry IV part one already done, and I will post that as soon as I can so that you all can see what kind of work I do. Since I did jump the gun a little with getting started, I am not sure about the end date; I'm thinking of the end of September 2011 maybe? I'll start with the Historys, then the Comedys, then the Tragedies, and finally the Romances. I will be going from my Riverside Shakespeare, and I will not do Cardenio or Edward III. Once I get more familiar with the whole blog thing, I will post a list. Feel free to comment on what you think!
