This week I finished one of my favourite pieces that I've made (that sentence sounds gramatically offensive somehow, but I'm too tired to fix it). This is a bust of the lovely Ashley D., who requested something blue and Burtonesque bunny ears:
Ashley has the most amazing profile and piercing blue eyes, so I really wanted to try to capture those features.
I also finished two busts of a couple (who prefer to remain nameless) that will be an anniversary gift from lovely wife to handsome husband.
(Can I just point out in a moment of self- congratulation that I even made her tiny hoop and multiple stud earrings in doll version? )
I just have to give another cheer for The Turn of the Screw, which I linked to in my last post. SO. GOOD. What a creepy, spine-tingly, beautifully-written little ghost story (little in length, but do dense and fascinating in content). Right now we're reading Deliverance, which I always thought was all Burt Reynolds and "squeal like a pig". Who knew it started as a book?
Boy! You captured the blue-ness of the eyes wonderfully! It was the first thing I noticed, the drama of the color can soak you to the life of it.
I found delierance sooo creepy, mainly because I saw too many friends in the written characters! Awk!

These are lovely! I like the blue eyes too-a lovely shade. You have done an especially good job on the likeness of the husband.
I didn't know that Deliverance was a book either-ignoramus that I am!

You've done a great job catching the likeness once again. I love the tiny hoop and multiple stud earrings on the wife. It's something that I haven't seen you do before. The husband is adorable with his big brown sad eyes.

Beautiful blog. Turn of the Screw is one of my all time favorite creepy stories. I had to read it for my horror literature class. Can you believe it, I actually got credits to read spooky books!
