Dear Heidi,

She's gorgeous! I can't wait to see the final fired and patinated Courtney.

Heidi,
technically perfect, AND beautiful, sensitive, graceful. I love the delicate modeling of the details. And the way you treated the eyelashes is a success, it adds a very feminine touch.

Many many thanks you guys!
I spent all of yesterday sitting in the hot sun at my little potters wheel trying to turn a base for this. I can see this is going to be a little more difficult than I thought. Well, one more skill to master I suppose. If all else fails, I'll hire my brother the potter!

Beautiful, and thank you for posting the close ups. I love seeing your work and can't
wait to see the final result.

Off the subject, but a quick question I just have to ask...... why do you post in the Unveilings for everyone section?

Thanks Janet!
I reworked the hair strands and some minor changes. I am calling it done (modeling) unless the client sees anything else to change.

Oh, I post here because I am just a part-time artist.

Heidi--

This is beautiful! The finish really brings out the forms. Just stunning.

I have immense admiration for all you 3-D guys...it's like doing 360 paintings for each piece, and they all have to fit together. You're fearless, and it shows.

Best--TE
