Hi Everyone 🙌💖🙌 from a very grey Sussex, here’s a couple of things to brighten your day (I hope!) firstly the progress on my Gopi face and secondly another image I found of this similar subject which has more of the body and all of the arms in & I think the jewellery & clothes maybe easier to see.
My work is covered in real gems pearls in varying shapes and sizes that have needed a fair bit of sanding to fit in place, green and red Onyx & Garnets so far I’m now working on her necklaces. She’s very opulent but I felt she should be to honour the subject matter. She’s completely gilded some raised and some flat, her face, arms & feathers are painted and everything else is shell gold.
Never apologise for opulence - I think she is dripping gorgeous dripping in gems! Thanks also for sharing the full image. I found yet another one with the hands and feet, so makes me think this is one of several copies made!
