Description So apparently I am on a crazy stint of productivity because I got this one made yesterday and finished today. One of my students at the workshop made a sun mask, and it gave me some new ideas to try on my own. This is the same pattern that I have used before, but I integrated a lot more carving and some of the dimensional painting that I like so much.

It is made from 4 oz leather, hand carved and shaped on a life cast. Since we were at a workshop full of musicians who play Baroque music, they immediately named it after Louis the XIV.

This is for sale in my Etsy shop here: [link]

this is a 3 dimensional sculpture that no one can possibly steal electronically. why put a watermark on it? no one can download a physical object.

No matter how good my photographs are, I will not put a dA watermark on them. At least put a watermark of your own devising on it, so that peopel will remember you, the artist who made it, and not some ugly dA watermark plastered all over your gorgeous work!

Sorry I was uploading quickly and sometimes I hit the wrong buttons. It should be changed now.
