Thanks so much for your comments Chris and Carlos - and of course for your book recommendation Chris!

Chris - When I'm done with the mold, I'll cast a (test) granite version (almond colored) and take a decent set of photos at a few angles and send you a set in the round - probably post one here of that version also from the other side. The base will probably just be a small black walnut tapered pedestal to match the one made of her older sister.

Carlos - right you are! She has blonde hair and blue eyes. She wasn't very happy to have to sit for photos - she is a cutie with impish little eyes.

Seems every time I make a bust, I try something just a little different with eye treatment. The main thing about color is the depth. The deeper you make them, the darker the eye color appears. Same with hair - hair made with lots of cuts and shadows gives the impression of a darker hair color.
