Whew! And She Loves It!!!

| It's almost finished, a bit of last minute fine tuning before we cast this piece. The first one will be cast in Sterling Silver and antiqued (patina) to give it depth. Becky's will be specials, we'll be adding a bit of gold to hers plus a little something she asked for. |
 |
| If possible, I always like trying the piece on my arm. |
 |
| I already know this cuff is going to be beautiful...my number one rule is that if the wax looks good, then the finished piece will look awesome. |
 |
| Still in the rough but I thought you might like to see another view or two... |
 |
| And now my third set of leaves. I've spent about 30 minutes just getting them proportioned correctly. |
 |
| I sculpted a smaller set of three leaves and attached them next to the larger set. |
 |
| Once I've layed out my vines...Kudzu have awesome vines, I start adding my leaves once sculpted and textured. The piece of wood in the background, that's an instant reminder of how I want my groves to go in my vines. |
 |
| Here I am gearing up to start sculpting the Kudzu leaves. The leaves are very unique so I want to make sure I have them right. Drawing out the design a couple of times makes it easy to start sculpting the leaves. You're working out the design in your head as well. |
