Total time so far, about 7 hours. I’m hoping to finish this weekend and begin my next inspiration. I’m thinking about doing a full figure of the Marilyn Monroe posture from “Seven Year Itch” but I’ll just have to see which idea takes the front. I may go ahead and just for fun do another […]

Still need to attach a head of course, and the detailing on this could take a week, but now that […]
