Cordelia

I am calling this piece Cordelia...I think this Victorian style name is fitting for her!

Back to Work Again!

This piece has been a real trial. After the background was grouted...I was stuck, didn't know where to go with it. and I wasn't really happy with the grout. So I just put it away for the winter, I brought it out again in the spring, cleaned it up a bit. The grout was a bright white and I found that to be distracting, I didn't want to go with black so I decided to paint the grout gray. Even then I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the rest of it. This piece has a lot going on. It is meant to be a busy piece, but I still wanted flow and a pleasing composition. So it sat most of the summer where I could see it. I studied it and it was on my mind often...just trying to figure out how to make this work.

So I continue.....adding beaded patterns and mille.

I'm starting to like this...it's coming together and feeling like my Zentangle inspired drawings.

I'm starting to get really excited about this now. I really like where its going!!

Here, I have added her head and started on the hair.

Now, she is coming to life! I have added more hair and added details to her arms and legs.

She has a doll like quality that I like...a bit creepy too!

Stay tuned for the completion of this interesting lady!!!
