Through My Eyes                                                                                                                                                                                          * More work on the sculpture of Tara Drolma!  I've begun building the base for the water of Yamdrok Yutso. There's actually a fair amount of clay here already!  It will be important later to refine the modelling a bit more and develop the undercuts to make the rising of the cloth from the water more distinct and powerful.  Then more work can be done on the hands  along with the folds of the cloth and the surface of the water. Another view...  We can see the spaces beneath the cloth; these will help to show the energy of the tossing waves while the surface modelling will show the grace of  it's fluid movement.  In much this way Tara herself would move, she of free unfettered mind!   please click here  to continue...                                                                                                                                                           * courtesy of A Luminous Diamond (Bright) Crystal Show productions.
