Whoot whoot.

So after a rather stressful series of events across this week, discussed in the above blog posts, here is the finished product. This ended up being a commissioned piece for an art auction as part of a charity event for..some group of people who are uh..something to do with American-Chinese doctors? Um..establishing connections between the countries..something-something. I'm not exactly clear on it. I should probably figure it out.

I finished and mounted it this morning - it's in a black shadowbox - and we went to deliver it in the afternoon. They ended up giving it a starting bid that I think is..absurdly high, but what can you do. I'm not good at selling my own art, so whatever. They're doctors. They have money.

...

Anyways, the first version of this was a mask. Same colors and form, slightly different shape. I'll probably take better photos of that and post it too. Part of a new project I'm working on, which involves..making a bunch of cool-looking masks. Simple, right?

People are trying to prod me into making a few more of these and selling them. Should I?

...

Polymer clay, acrylic paint, varnish.

Perty, and good story too! Yeah, it's me, that girl that never gets on dA anymore. Sounds like you may not be around much either. So how much did it go for? I'm glad you're still sculptin' away!

Surely looks beautiful

~Jumbi Jul 1, 2010 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

This is gorgeous! I love the wispy, trailing look of the feathers. Your color choice is excellent.

Stunning! Might I ask what the starting bid was? I could tell you if it's absurdly high. I well know the feeling of 'but I can't price it that high, nobody would buy it and is is REALLY worth that much?', but have a better handle on it now. YES, you should make more and sell them! It would probably take a while, but you could get a real audience for these things--symbolism is powerful.
It might not even take that long, depending on how prestigious that auction is.

This is completely amazing. End. Story. How much is it being sold for? I'm sure that it is worth every penny. If it goes over well with the charity, you might want to look for a gallery to take your stuff. :3 Seriously the composition and flow is outstanding and I personally am stunned. : D

I love the flow and line of this, your fiery creation is a positive dance, what with the elegance of the plumage and the poise of the bird. Beautiful!
