I Hate Hacking at a Cured Piece!

Well, the Nature Face is cured, but. . . with a large air pocket next to the left eye. (Curses and Buggers!) I don't believe I will attempt a cover-up with neatly placed greenery, so that leaves just hacking it off and refilling it. I never liked doing that with a cured piece, but sometimes that is the nature of the medium. Other than that, it turned out well and I am reasonably happy with the features. I think it's more feminine than male, so that's what I'll run with. I'm not sure if I like the 'texture' bit, but I think it will really add to it once I get all the leaves placed.

Peace All---and thanks for looking!

Face/Schmace.

Well, I started working on my Nature face again after I got the beading out of my system for awhile. I picked out the perfect pair of eyes and it's been refine, refine and REFINE! Just when I think I am ready to cure it, I go and change something and then I do it again. . . and again.

I am good with the noses, I am fairly comfortable with the mouth/lips, but I always get stopped up at the EYESES! I know I know how they go---after all, I've got two of my very own, but. . . something happens to me brain when I go and sculpt the eyes in! I'm sure that will go away if I do enough of them, right??? Still, I had hoped to be farther along in general.

Here's a progress pic. I like the basic expression so far, I am adding details continuously. I will bake it BEFORE I start adding in a bunch of leaves. Nothing like ruining good work by adding a a few dozen leaves and what not!

Peace All,

Not Wholly Idle

Well, times have been somewhat difficult economically for us, but I've not been totally idle. I LOVE sparkly, feminine jewelry---although, I seldom actually wear it. However, I recently made this sparkly necklace and bracelet just for fun, but someone is already eyeballing it! I absolutely HAVE to get a pic in here of her wearing it as it drapes so prettily! It doesn't look like much unless you're WEARING it!

Peace All,

When I want to play with the beads, then I absolutely MUST get them out and play or they will all roll around in the hallways of my mind like marbles.
