Through My Eyes                                                                                                                                                                                          * More work on the sculpture of Tara Drolma!  Here I'm working more on the masses and folds of the cloth Tara Drolma is holding. I've added a bit more clay to the fingers, palm, and wrist to stabilize the hand while I work on the drapery. I'll refine the modelling of the hand again as things progress.  The important thing now I think is to show the energy of Tara Drolma's movement and that of the cloth rising up from the swirling water... It's that gesture element I mentioned some time back .  It will impart life and energy that will unify the forms much as the intent of  Tara Drolma would bring together those things which are needed to accomplish her chosen effort! please click here to continue...                                                                                                                                                           * courtesy of A Luminous Diamond (Bright) Crystal Show productions.
