Our least favorite project -- Rework

But I'm getting better at it

Perhaps its just that I see the problems and want to fix them

who knows



This is Pinkie II

before picture on the left, after on the right

I changed the nose, shortened the jaw and trimmed the hair on the front of the ears





This is the much discussed rabbit

Before on the far left, after in the center and right side

I redid the face, trimming a lot of the hair down really close and changed the nose and mouth

I still think the biggest issue with the rabbit was my fur selection. I have another fur that I want to make a second rabbit from -- shorter, denser, not curly, very "rabbit like" --




Goldie was "finished" quite a while ago, but because I was never really happy with her mouth, she hasn't seen the table much.

The before picture is the far left.

She got a new nose, and I shortened her jaw and removed the tongue. Also trimmed a lot of the fur around her eyes and on the bridge of the nose


And this is Dannie



On the far left he looks a bit out of focus, but it is just because of all the long fur on his face!



I did a lot of trimming (with scissors and the little razor) to shape his head better and clear his eyes. A little needle sculpting was also done on his nose

The glazing of the face on Grizzlie is now complete

It doesn't make a big difference in the pictures of him, but in person, its a big improvement to have the same "sheen" on the face as the paws

All of these animals will be going with us to Berthoud for this coming weekend's show

I also finished the color painting of the goose feet and stuffing of the bird, so it looks like the new goose will also be going


The piece of jewelry I've been working is also coming along nicely -- I'm hoping to get that finished soon too, even though I don't have a jewelry show for a while.

Today we have shopping to do, so not so much will be done in the studio, but I'm sure a little bit will happen

time to get to it
