The Lady emerges...



Noses are a mystery. I have made many noses, some quite perfect and interesting in their shape but I never know what will happen. I feel strangely out of control when it comes to noses. They become whatever they want to become, regardless of what I planned.


Last weekend was exceptionally lucky for working on the lady bear that will be paired up with Tammi's dragon. However, her nose... after three tries I thought to say "screw it!" and make a Fimo nose, which can be quite nice (like Miss Wix's). However, I tried one last time, and this nose was perfectly even and well placed, although a very different shape then what I was going for. It's almost wing-like in its shape, very fitting for this project but not a typical nose. I suppose I prefer this unique nose.


And the lady needs a name. Lady? Lady Fenwick? Lady Teah? Lady Corina? If you have any ideas, please send them along! (PS The green background will become her dress.)

    1. Hey Amy, thank you, that's nice! I looked it up: "Viridian is a blue-green pigment,"... "Specifically, it is a dark shade of spring green, the color between green and cyan on the color wheel. Viridian takes its name from the Latin viridis, meaning "green"." --Wilkipedia
