AHHHG!  It's been a crazy summer...but as you can see, I've finally finished the piece I started back in January...in fact I just put the finishing touches on the base about 30 minutes ago. Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful comments about it!!!
I took some time the last couple of months to work with my daughter and one of her friends who wanted to learn to sculpt, so that has slowed my pace quite a bit, but I'm really happy to have them around...and delighted that my daughter has actually finished something.  She vowed never to touch polymer a few years ago....*wink*
Anyway, I will be immersing myself in a piece that I've started for my favorite fantasy illustrator, Tony DiTerlizzi next, and I'm both anxious and excited...more so than I have been about any work so far.  After that I may be taking on a project for a zoo...which is really intriguing. Hopefully, I'll be able to squeeze in some time for some side projects while I'm working on these...so I'll have something to offer again soon.
