Thanks JP, I will be here on and off until I feel better but hopefully more on that off although I've Always been a bit off? I guess I also didn't show you all the Whale rider I snagged outta the box of 80 a few weeks ago. It too has been on my mind and won't let go. It is from a picture I saw a while back in an on-line NZ Jewelry store. I Really Loved it and wanted to make one which I did and it sold right away and a few people asked for one as well and I started one. I stopped work on it because after a lot of thought I decided it was not mine to copy and I didn't want to steal someone elses ideas. Since then I have seen a few more variations on the same idea and by Different artists so I figure I may as well finish this one and make More later but more in the benzart style. SO Here she is almost complete. I still have the face to do. The wood id Black Walnut with white sapwood on top and dark heartwood on the bottom part trying to give the illusion of a dark powerful whale and a fair skinned ,blond haired rider . This was my work for today. |
