Title: This one took a while...(added one on p.3)
Post by: sparrow on August 24, 2011, 05:23:26 PM
I'm rather happy with it, although I'm jumping the gun - it will be professionally photographed in September, but I just couldn't wait that long, so please excuse my snapshots:

It's lit from an LED panel that I personally carved the space for in the oak 'plinth' (and I have the blisters to prove it).

A 'few' detail shots:

Lol, I wish! I have a beautiful 'left-over', a dancer, one leg and one arm high in the air...and I was so anxious to connect her properly to the rod....it warped :( She'll be her own little sculpture once I find a base for her :)
