Hi Everyone ๐๐๐ from a very grey Sussex, hereโs 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 Iโm now working on her necklaces. Sheโs very opulent but I felt she should be to honour the subject matter. Sheโs completely gilded some raised and some flat, her face, arms & feathers are painted and everything else is shell gold.
Thanks Anastasia โฅ๏ธ๐งก๐
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!
This is absolutely beautiful, Sara!!! I love the gold and the gems, she is SO sparkly and gorgeous, I can't wait to see her finished! Thank you for sharing the extra image, too! ๐
Thanks Nadia.๐งก๐ฅฐ๐งก Iโve had to pause for the dress detailing because I underestimated on gem quantities ๐ & of course you can put her on Facebook thanks for asking ๐๐โค๏ธ๐งก๐ Iโll post a pic when sheโs complete too ๐ Iโm just finishing Mehmet II at the mo! Big Lโฅ๏ธvE to you ๐โค๏ธโฅ๏ธ๐งก
OOooh!! those jewels turned out fabulously, @Sara ! I'd like to share this with our miniature painting facebook group if you don't mind.

Hi Sara, this is absolutely stunning!! It took my breath away when I saw it during the meet-up, and it's so lovely to see it progressing. A beautiful piece, I love it :)
