Through My Eyes









Yet more work on the hair of Tara Drolma! Here I'm working on a headress of sorts, extending the hair and braids and refining the modelling.  Some more views...





The headress could actually be wildflowers or a Lotus!  Tara is often depicted adorned with lotuses yet in Tibet she might have worn rhododendrons or a bunch of poppies. In general the sculpture seems to be evolving toward a more natural look!






I've worked a bit more on this side...



                                                                                                                                            *

and created hair flowing down in front on the other side! I really like how this looks!  





I've smoothed the transition to the braids and added more structure to the undercut section while creating the hair that flows toward the headress.









I haven't added the jewelled ornament yet but Tara Drolma looks regal anyway. It emanates from within her!
