In a moment of inspiration, I decided to snap one side of
the wings in two. And then hastily repair it...
with a wooden "splint" and (eventually) some laced twine!
The head and hands have a generous base-coat of black
that I will begin to work over in the next few days.
I'm not sure about my color choices for the wood turnings.
My healing process?
I had a chemo-injection on Tuesday... a higher dosage
than I expected, but with fewer anticipated side-effects.
Now I wait... and let it do its job!
Warm Wishes, Daryle
(quite literally as it may reach 60 here in South Jersey today!)
I know you still have changes yet to make on this doll, but I love the dark face and hands. Such wonderful contrast to the rest. And flying with a patched up wing? We've all been there, I think. Very eloquent.
ReplyDeleteThe expression says it all. Looks like "I give it all to you Lord" Even the hands have a great expression.
ReplyDeleteWarm Wishes right back to you....
I have had several friends walk through this "valley of the shadow of death"...FEAR NO EVIL...it is a bothersome inconvenience, to say the least. I am sure you are lifted daily in prayer and by the love of your friends and family...but still...not something anyone wants to walk through. I love your work, always. And I am praying for your restoration to perfect health so you can continue your sojourn here doing the things you were created to do...
ReplyDeleteI like the new header photo. It speaks volumes to this part of your journey.
