This piece was sculpted in full and anatomically correct before I began to
place her adornments and dress her. I do this with all of my dolls. It just seems like cheating to do otherwise and I know that she is whole beneath her dressings. Besides the practice sculpting is edging me toward being a better sculptor for which I aspire. I don't think anyone ever becomes so adept at anything that there isn't room for improvement and I will always strive to be better. I placed a rod into her armor to suspend her on her pedestal so that she would hover in mid air. The photos of her body are over exposed but they are all I have. You can see the progress. For her armor I used very fine metallic powder which you then burnish (rub) to buff it out. For her dress she is wearing many different versions of silk and her hair is made of humanely shorn mohair.SOLD
Thanks for visiting :)
