Photos from my Current WIP

This is definitely a Halloween piece. And it is progressing in a very odd fashion.

^{Love this paper!}

Sometimes I create the setting first and sometimes I create the bear first.

^{Test run of an old technique with a new twist.}

This time I am doing bits of one thing and then bits of another at the same time.

^{Some of the backwards bit. Usually I leave the edges for later.}

I don’t know whether it is because I have an idea that I want to see manifest

^{Parts of two different details on the box made from the same pieces.}

or because I am doing the stages of the box somewhat backwards.

^{This shows the kind of crazy I am.  Piece on the right is the original finish but it’s too shiny for me
so I ‘redid’ it to have more of a cast iron finish look to it.}

The order of the setting construction makes no difference really because I am also creating the last bits of the bear before I have the bear done. Very odd.
