Through My Eyes                                                                                                                                                                                          * Continuing work on the sculpture of Tara Drolma!  I'm continuing work  on the folds as they wrap around the side of her legs. We can see the loom here. It is sitting on the board from which the printing block was created! I generally move it from place to place rolled up as we can see here covered in towels to protect it. I'm actually working mostly on her lower left side developing the folds and moving them around to the front.  Some more views... I've extended the fabric out onto the water...  I'm beginning to model the cloth as it gathers together from the tension of the twisting of her body and it's bouyancy on the water. In such a way Tara Drolma, as do all Tibetans, gathers the forces of her  mind to powerfully rise above the temporary trouble of her circumstances!   please click here to continue...                                                                                                                                                           * courtesy of A Luminous Diamond (Bright) Crystal Show productions.
