I can't wait to see you at the Mesa League next month. Your work is so strikingly present, I have been counting down the days.

Don't those letters make you sometimes think that taking money is only a byproduct of the job!!!

Happy Holidays!

Thanks Debra and Alex,
Debra, glad there will be a familiar face there at the presentation/demo. It is my first public anything I've agreed to do and I'm nervous as heck about it.

Heidi--

I imagine that your "forensic" success resulted from so many past projects from life coming to your aid in this one, enabling you to fill in the blanks. Many congrats on such a satisfied client!

Heidi,

Astounding! What you've completed takes considerable talent and interpretive skills. Fortunately you have much experience and observation behind you to evoke a credible and engaging 3-D portrait from an antique photograph (I know I would be quite challenged)! Well done!

Garth

I know this thread is old, but I thought I'd post one more photo here of another variation of this bust I made recently This time, cast a copy in almond granite to have for a show I'm doing in Newport Oregon next month. I've given it an antique finish and think it suits this old fashioned gal rather well. Amazing how the same bust can feel so different depending on what material it is made of and finish that is applied to it.

Thank you so much for posting this update, Heidi. It really is interesting to see how much difference the material makes. That must be one of the fun things about sculpting.
