my own little world

Here 's my new bust "Vanessa" I think finished though Im always tempted to do just a bit more.. I actauly liked her much better without hair but , a girl must have hair and for the most part Im pleased with her. The light really makes a big diffence in how she looks. Side light makes her glow within! ^-^ I added a few freckles to fracture the flawless "covergirl " look and gave her antlers.
She embodies a longing for inner healing and for the shady bower, the babbling brook and deep peace of nature. I hope you get some of that too.

Vanessa


Things are finaly begining to form again for me after about a month of not being able to sculpt decently.

Im also working on a green eyed mermaid so my mind is all on green and fresh things right now. I thought she might be Rusulka but, now I think she is too carefree for that. A bonett of strawberries might fit ,but Im not going to stay tied to that if she says no.


I was hoping to achieve a higher level of realism for this peice so, I worked from a photo of Milla Jovovich as a 12 year old. I dont know how that is going to work out. Maybe I should have picked a more realistic model than Milla but I also wanted an elvish look!
