Meanwhile............I have been working on a new piece. NB THIS PIECE IS NOT THE GIVEAWAY PRIZE - I'LL BE MAKING SOMETHING ESPECIALLY FOR THAT. Apart from some finishing touches with paint, I think it is done. Here are some progress shots:
Working it out.
Full shot.
Closer.
Angled shot.
And a closeup of the head.
I took the colours to paint this piece from the beautifully rusted metal pieces that I have used on the torso. Working title: "Rust Never Sleeps".

wonderful piece. I love the depth of shadowing and the fabric grain. I am envious of your garden, as we had too many hot days for plants to thrive so mine mainly burned up.
Congratulations! It's a treat to be able to see your work, it's so unique.
Congratulations on 500 followers Susie! Your work is always so amazing that it's no wonder that so many want to come over here to visit. I know that I'm always oohing and aahing over your latest and greatest creations.
Congrats Sue on your 500. I love all your dolls. Would love to have another. :)
You're work shows excellent craftmanship and artistic vision. At first glance I thought the textured pieces on the torso were tree bark. Interesting piece very beautiful.
