Picture
This is the second crown I've worked on this sculpture. Is it too busy, distracting your eyes from the face? Please ignore the white areas around the beads. They will be painted tomorrow. What kind of emotions does she convey to you? Thank you in advance for your comments.

P.S. on Feather Harvesting ( July 26, 2015)
While I was revising the crown yesterday, I wondered how the feathers had been harvested. The bag of chicken and pheasant feathers were a Creatology brand sold at Michaels. I searched the Internet for the information of the company's practice with no success. As the package said it was produced in China, I strongly doubted they had been collected humanely. That meant the feathers were plucked from birds that had been raised and killed for meat. Supporting such businesses is the last thing I want to do. "No more commercially purchased feathers on my art," I promised to myself.

I see scorn, disapproval, contempt. She knows she is superior, and shows her disdain.

Thank you for being a dependable friend, who promptly responds to my request. I did not expect the sculpture to express disdain, but she is a queen. It's OK for her to show that….

I do not see disdain Yoko. I see a natural embodiment, carriage and display of strength, courage, beauty, integrity. She sees clearly. She is the same inside and out, both are the same. She is compassionate. it is a marvel this woman you have brought to life. She seems quite alive. Stunning. I believe she is.

Thank you very much for the compliment. It's interesting that depending on who sees the sculpture it can be interpreted differently. You grasped my original intention of the image. Thank you.
