Through My Eyes                                                                                                                                                                                          * More work on the sculpture of Tara Drolma!  Here we can see the modelling of the fingers and thumb of this hand. The fingers are much closer to the cloth with less space to work between them so I allowed the clay to get a bit harder then worked it some more with the clay tools. Some more views... With more modelling the hands are looking just fine!   The water has a wonderful vast feeling in this picture.  We can see the very slight undercut I've made to refine the tip of the thumb and indicate the nail. It is actually fairly shallow so the feature is more durable. Here I've yet to refine the modelling but we can again  see Tara Drolma's steadfast resolve and gentle tenacity along with the creative resourcefulness that enables the compassionate mind to overcome every obstacle even in the most harsh of circumstances!   please click here  to continue...                                                                                                                                                           * courtesy of A Luminous Diamond (Bright) Crystal Show productions.
