The first stage got the look sorted
however when I returned to it I realised that the female figure had to be cut right back as the woman's head was much too large in relation to the horse...
so there was quite a bit of radical surgery.
I took the female head right back down
After two more sessions I was much happier with her proportions and feel that the horse and female are much more harmonious.
I gave Epona her hair with a braid around the forehead
then I worked with the horse's mane and the woman's hair so that they blended into one another...The figure has been dried out over Easter so will be fired soon; then I will have to decide whether to glaze it or stain it with oxide
Hello Shirley,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog by way of the Mixed Media site and find your work very interesting. I love to dabble whenever I get the chance and really like your work--especially your Epona. I fall for the weird stuff too. If it's strange or unusual--it's for me. Hope to get to know you better. I have become a follower so that I can pop in often.
Hope to chat again,
Faye
