So now it took nearly 3 weeks, but I finally got there.
"Fantasies of youth" is finally done.
Opalized Agate Wood for the girl 44 x 38 mm
Stone Canyon frame with Obsidian background 66 x 55 mm at maximum points.
Its the biggest seize I have done thus far.
The beginning and some stages
Some more stages with the picture on the right showing the lines of face and hair better just before going at it with 50K diamond-paste. Thought that might give a better idea, just in case I can't get a picture showing the lines later.
The frame
And finally the whole composition finished up. I like the contrast in the picture to the right best (hence my avatar) as she seems to smile from that angle and she really seems ready to jump out. But unfortunately, I was not able to frame her with the background.
So here is the best shot with the intended background
Got desperate on the face, but even more so about finally finishing something, so my patience wore out. I know it could take at least another couple of days to improve her. But I got a whole month before I have to get her ready for groove wrapping and as a b'day present for my son, so by then I suppose I will have forgotten about the things that could be done and moved on to something else. Temptress 2 is already in my mind for a week.
Yet first, I gotta finish another B'day present for my younger one the "Revenge for my cheese" piece. LOL
Finally; A special thanks to all who have endured all the lamenting over the duration of this project. hugs23 Its been a long road, yet I understand that it will only get longer still yet. saved11
As always, any suggestions for possible improvements, are highly welcome.
Best regards, Kurt
