I posted a pic of my Alison Krauss sculpture in my article on my marble sculpture progress because it slowed that progress. While checking to see if it would come up in a google search, the nude sculpture comes up but not the photo with the caption "Alison Krauss Sculpture." Also my angel sculpture showed up in a search of "Alison Krauss Sculpture." So I'm writing this so the right pic shows up, hopefully. Here it is:

I wanted to take a break from carving marble so I started a fist sized sculpture of a face with the idea of limiting myself to 15 minutes to sculpt a face. I almost did it but I thought why not go ahead and see if I can sculpt a portrait sculpture of someone. I had started to sculpt Alison before and already had pics printed, so I went ahead and gave it a shot. Weeks later, this is it. I have her looking straight ahead because she always looks so calm and confident on stage.
I've said before I tend to add clay to fix mistakes or to change things. This sculpture is life size but started out fist sized. I had her face pretty darn close but when I went to add the rest of her head, things started changing and growing rapidly.
I've had this clay a long time I don't remember what kind it is. The clay I used for the hair is softer and green, so I faded the color in the pics to almost black and white. It is oil based clay so if I don't get some more interest in this, there has been some, this will get recycled into some other sculpture and live only as a picture.
