      1st question of the year from me:
      Which sculture did you find was the most difficult one for you to work on and which one was the easiest?

      It kinda depends on what you mean by “difficult”. Almost all the Windstone things were a lot of knuckle breaking work, carving and sanding for months and months. For a while I had a couple wonderful assistants who did a lot of the finishing work. Without Dhey’s assistance I could never of gotten the Secret Keeper finished, even so, that dragon took 2 years! So work-wise, that one was difficult!!
      Harmony , Dhey and I spent long hours pecking the texture onto gargolyles. They are difficult too, even though they look easy!
      Anyway, the MOST difficult sculptures are the ones that are still sitting here, unfinished, because they are being too difficult. They just won’t cooperate, so I let them be until we get together on what they want to turn out as… This sounds crazy, but it sure seems like the sculpture and I are partners, working together.
      That hippocampus was originally a mermaid. She had a bad case of the uglies as a person but ended up happy, as a merhorse .
      The easiest dragon was the Old Warrior. After I realized he simply was NOT going to be an “Empress dragon” he just fell into place exactly right.

      The easiest one of all was the gargoyle egg with eyes. Cast a rock, stick eyes in it, done!
      Thank you for the thought provoking question! I hadn’t really thought about it.

        Thank you for the answers.I always wondered if they took on a life of their own to you when you are creating them.I can understand that with just the painting side of the creative process.
        I guess the “Garden Lady” is one being a bit stubborn?I hope to one day have one of those beauties sitting here in my home.Females just can’t decide what they want to look like at times huh? She’ll come around one day I’m sure. 😉
        I’m kinda glad the mermaid wasn’t what the Hippocampus turned out to be.The horse is just awesome! We have one of your mermaids and she is a cutie.Bodinetoo loves her stone placement. :p 😀

          I guess the Oriental PYO is being one of the ornery ones! 😀
          And i LOVE the Gargoyle Egg – those red eyes peeking up at you are so cute! “Ummm, should I come out…this egg is so comfy!” 😉

            No, actually the indoor garden dragon is ready to go, if nobody minds that she is huge, and stone finish – I just haven’t had time to get her totally finalized. I still need to fit the eyes. Maybe her name should be “Patience”
            I am REALLY glad that mermaid turned into a horse!

              The PYO oriental sculpture is good, and ( almost) ready to go, he just needs a bit of final sanding, and horns. Not his fault.
              Several sculptures are waiting just ’cause I haven’t had time to finish them, not because they aren’t cooperating.
