The Lunar Goddess is complete after having two heads sculpted and two sets of wings made, she finally came together. She is a 9" figure sculpted from Porcelain puppen fimo and stands on a mosaic stand. I dressed her in silk gauze and Venice lace and made her last set of wings from Fantasy film on a wire armature which was painted with 3-D Crystal Lacquer and sprinkled with micro glass beads. She has beautiful while mohair for her hair and her headdress is made of antique silver wire leaves. She will fly to E-bay tomorrow.
We took a week's vacation along with my sister and her husband and traveled to Asheville, North Carolina. The drive from Mississippi to North Carolina was beautifull with views of the mountains and dogwood in full bloom and quaint little towns along the wayside. Our destination was to visit the magnificant home "Biltmore" built by George Washington Vanderbilt,III. We were not allowed to take pictures inside the home, but could take pictures anywhere on the grounds consisting of 8000 acres. I have divided my posts into two...one will be pictures of the exterior of the home showing the limestone carvings of statues and gargoyles. The stone cutters were the highest paid of all the construction workers when Biltimore was built. My second post will be pictures of the grounds and beautiful flowers.
