Sorry for deleting the comment button after my last post -- a spammer found me the other day, so I just wanted to make it harder for any more to crash my blog. I put everything back to where it was today, so PLEASE leave me a comment!
(Don't you just wish that the people who work so hard at spamming would use their energy and talents toward something... if not more useful, AT LEAST less annoying!?)
So...
I added leaves to the tree and thought "it is good". At least when viewed from the front. When I turned it to a different angle I realized that my tree looked more like a peacock's tail -- all gorgeous arcs and curves until viewed from the side, when it showed as totally flat.
So... I added some more branches.
(Full disclosure: this photo has been altered to enhance the contrast and show detail.)
Woo Hoo, now it's looking good. I especially like the way the face is somewhat obscured. This afternoon I added some smaller twigs, and I hope to add the last leaves tomorrow when the branches and twigs are stable enough to work on.
Yesterday, I was about to give up. Today... I'm pretty happy!

Hi Judi :o)
I had such a wonderful time looking at your blog. Your work is just beautiful! Your box and dolls are fabulous!!!!
You are very talented!
Your granddaughter is darling-what a beautiful smile.
I also love your goblet with the skeleton hand. You should enter it in the challange. It is great!!!
Give up???? Noooooo! First of all, I don't think you ever REALLY would, anyway! Second, you always tend to step back, see the whole picture, and know EXACTLY what a piece needs. This is a perfect example of that. Beautiful!
