However, I had some time to myself today and decided to get cracking on another piece for the Orientation exhibition. Now, you have to look carefully, but you can just see the outline of my model. (That outstretched hand will have a teapot in it.)
And here's a close up of the face. Still doing the hair. I haven't decided whether to make it messy or to give it a bit of a Japanese look with perfectly manicured perfection and lots of combs and pretty things in it. Perhaps I will put some chopsticks through the bun at the back (my DD's used to use chopsticks to hold their hair in place when they were younger - it was a bit of a thing - that and knitting needles)
Already looking good Annabel - pleased we are getting one of your 'racy' ones for the exhibition - and very much looking forward to seeing her progress - Hilary x
ReplyDeleteThanks OB2!! I'm quite enjoying making this one, but haven't quite find the right words for the body yet.
ReplyDeleteI noticed a book at the RHS shop called 10 poems about Tea - and amazon have it also .... you might need to get it for research x
ReplyDeleteSo looking forward to seeing your work 'in the flesh' (see what I did there!) at the Minerva in Llanidloes next year!!
ReplyDeleteI seem to have missed your comment Hilary. Thank you so much for the info about tea poems - they could be really great and I'll go and check them out. Rosecolouredworld: thank you! I need all the "exposure" I can get!
