I have a precious piece of erosion bundle silk fabric which I hope to use for this special outfit. However a dried empty tea bag caught my eye so before I use my fabric I think I'll try that first.
Work in progress
finally stopped talking about sewing and started sewing. i always make a mess while i am working, but i accidentally find a lot of good color/fabric combinations that way.
Sick of this yet? Again, just two more colors. I'm glazing the colors, in much a similar way a painter goes about layering colors in slowly.
I've gone over the fruit with Crimson Red. I run right over highlights with the red, with the full intention of bringing those back later. It softens the intensity of the white, and creates new colors like the subtle pinks in each highlight.
The shadows I go over with Tuscan Red. Tuscan Red is one of the great colors for enlivening shadows from simple black.
Right... here is the disc ring - now named the brazier.
The plan is, to LOS the inside of the disc and then engrave curls like on my bracelet www.etsy.com/listing/41121324/bracelet-of-the-fey-silver-...
The curls rising above it will be silvery, partly polished, as will the top part of all the settings for the small sapphires. However, now for the last big desicion: Where to put the individual tube settings?
I have taken 8 pictures of different constellations - or rather: they aren't terribly different. Now you get until 13:30 CET to help me decide which go where. Have fun :-)

It's an almost dead solid perfect rendition of Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty. Including the teased up Billy Idol hair. Dilemma dilemma: how to make this work with an action figure body?
a sushi tray unfit to be eaten from as the oils in Zircote are toxic. It would damage the paint as well. [EDIT] No actually it is not toxic at all, The oils are just an added irritant to the lungs when working it.
As you can see there is a lot of tedious, time-consuming work involved in gourd carving. Where it has been carved out, it has been sanded smooth by hand. Some of the gourd was carved with my dremmel and other, more intricate areas with my Xacto knife.
Will post the next progress shots either tomorrow (Easter Day) or Monday.
Have a wonderful Sunday and Happy Easter to all!
Works in Progress. These portraits were made during the Kids Holiday Program with Laura Carey in April 2011
I'm worried there's too much white space in here. I'm planning on two colored borders around this, so hopefully the cheerful color will outweigh the white.
