Bravo... Nice piece. She looked like a very serious little girl in the clay, but seems to have softened in the cast version.

Peace,

What a lovely piece ,Heidi !
That's so interresting to see different cast versions.

Oh, I get it Tom - nice thing to say! Thought at first it was a typo and you meant to say "sing" or something.

Linda - thank you missy! Stopped by your site to see what you have been up to lately. Fabulous as always. Maybe I'll have you and Chris over for a sculpting jam!

David and Marina - thanks for that. I think a lot of the different look has to do with the lighting, but it is fun to see how different the same piece can look in different mediums/patinas/angles/lighting, etc. Makes it hard to choose (especially for the client!)

I expect to get Isabella back from the foundry this week. While she was there, got to work on this other project, which was a fun one. Modeled in ceramic, this life size piece (head and upper chest) was made from only one resource photo of the client's ancestor. A wedding photo from 1860. Here is a teaser of her face. I'll post the whole thing once she's immortalized in bronze. The relatives like it so much, they may all order a copy, which would be great.

WOW That's all I can say. These busts absolutely amaze me. This last one is breathtaking.

Heidi,

She is beautiful!

Heidi, you do indeed work a kind of magic that is beyond my comprehension. I'm three-dimensionally-impaired and have no concept of how you could achieve what you do -- especially that last one with only one old photo as reference. Magnificent, all of them!
