Posthumous miniature
Here's a recent miniature to share. Posthumous are always a challenge since it is very rare to ever get a profile shot of the person. When people are captured by a camera, it's always a variation of a front view unless a profile shot is intentional - which is never the case unless posing for a portrait bust commission!
Normally, I don't put on lashes or show teeth, but they were requested in this case because they were a big part of her character.
Anyway, the little head is 3 inches and is made of polymer. This customer has ordered 3 little minis, but after I complete these, I plan to stop offering them. They can take almost as long to make as a full size bust, but because of their size, I can only charge a fraction of the cost.
