It's taken me longer than I planned. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the construction going on here at the house. ... ! ... We've had to empty out one room where all the sheetrock will be replaced, and that stuff is 'stored' in various places around the rest of the house. A few things are out of place in my studio to allow electricians access. Now we're having a grand hold on everything until windstorm inspectors can inspect the new room-in-progress where a balcony used to be. But I digress ...
Here he is, finished at last. He stands about 8 inches high, one of the smaller pieces I've made. His head and hands are polymer clay. The bicorne hat is felt and rattail cord with an embellishment of torn fabric and a knot of ribbon. His box is papier mache, painted and glazed with acrylics to complement the fabric of his costume. I haven't named him, but Bonaparte comes to mind... something about the way his right hand is posed.
Today I'll pack him and send him off to Atlanta. Happy travels little fella. I know you're going to love your new home!
