Artist's Comments

a bust I made for Eurofurence. What not many of you know is that this sculpture contained tiny pieces of plaster in the clay. This resulted in half of the face nuking away in the kilning process. I loved this piece enough as to not give it up, so I just played puzzle with it until it was whole again, fixed the cracks with plaster and... voila. I was not able to fully reconstruct the base as to the original, but the version now works too. This was then antiques as to look a bit like a real bronze bust. This guy is for sale, ask if interested.
A HUGE thankyou to Riffuchs who took the pictures in the artshow at 5 am, thankyouthankyou! that guy is a true lifesaver for the "treating her artworks like a bad stepmother"-artist :) lol

Art is about making something insignificant significant.

ein akeyla-meisterwerk. angesichts dessen dass du den auch noch zusammenflicken musstest, und dann noch mut dazu gehabt das zu tun! Ich hätte wahrscheinlich verzeifelt aufgegeben... nunja, so sieht das werk einer kämpferischen künstlerin aus. und hat sich aufjedenfall gelohnt! :D

Sieht mir der Farbe echt toll aus! Da hat der Käufer sicher Freude gehabt. Schade ist es kaputt gegangen, aber hättest du nichts gesagt, hätte man nichts bemerkt. Echt gute Arbeit, hat mir schon beim Rohzustand gut gefallen.

wow! thank you very much for your comment! means a lot to me coming from a master sculptor like you :) I still say that the original in clay [link] looked better, but after it burst and was fixed I had to give it a heavy dark prime and then I gave it a hurried gold wash. I think it shows a lot that its kinda heartless. But I can still recolor him. After I puzzled his shattered pieces together recoloring is a piece of cake ;)
