Finally though I have found enough time to start on a new piece! I had originally planned on making a male figure, but as sometimes happens the clay seemed to have a mind of its own, and what eventually emerged was a rather scary female vampire.... and she has already managed to draw blood - while sculpting a knife fell off one of my shelves and cut my finger, oddly its the only time that I have managed so far to cut myself while sculpting!
