Finished!!!

Took much longer to do the white part - needed several layers of
glazing to develop the sheen / lighting to make it appear ceramic
instead of chalky. DD insists I'm not finished as there are fine
cracks apparent in the photo. Told her we could experiment with
crackle glaze _if_ this comes back from the show!

Now to move the back burner painting to the front!

Final day

for this one. So the sculpted gel media lace worked great, not as
quick as i hoped since I've never tried the technique, but did speed
up the paint application. It actually is like lighting an object at
that point, just fill the brush and drag it in the right direction.
Worked perfectly for adding tons of detail. Now off to finish the
feathers and readjust the nose.... Today! Liking my little
cheerleader popping her head in the studio with a "How awesome are you
painting, Mommy?"

Fiddly bits

- are being worked on as I go. Can't wait to get to the ornate ribbon
to use the trick I've had up my sleeve! But first the mask...

Mask on mask

the eye mask of the facemask first pass.
