wow, remarkably brilliant peice I must say.........from all I've seen from you, this one takes all. Beautifully detailed and perfect serine appulation. You couldn't have done a better job unless if it wasn't actually chizzled out of stone.

Thx. I'm a deep sculpture fan and I find this sort of stuff incredibly erotic. I've another one planned for a rainy day when I've time, again inspired by Bernini, but they take sooooooooo long to do and don't sell well for some reason. meanwhile, this one has pride of place in my personal gallery, so I'm happy.
