Now, if this works out it will be a really funny scene. Granny is standing out in front of the local Tattoo Parlour contemplating the "Today's Special". I know what that special will be but won't give it away until I get the building built. Granny has her umbrella, her purse and you'll note that I've given her ear-muffs as it's a little chilly outside. She has a Fox stole wrapped around her neck and is wearing rubber galoushes. I think a cat at her feet might be a nice touch but that would move her into the group category instead of the character in a scene. Have to think about that some more. I used decorative nails for bottons on her coat.-
April 25: I've been busy building Granny's Tattoo Parlor. Got the basic shape made and the mount completed. Now comes all the smaller details. There will be a fire hydrant at the open end of the sidewalk and I've thought about a dog doing his business but have issues with it being in poor taste. Any suggestions. Also, a cat curling around Granny's legs keeping an eye on that canine might be interesting. Have pretty well figured out all the signage.The big shop window and the one on the door will be made from lexan but you won't be able to see all the way through them. Probably covered with the signage. The sidewalk will be concrete with maybe a little snow along the edges of the building being as Granny has her woolies on.
-As I mentioned, I've fixed the window openings so that a piece of lexan can be inserted followed by another piece which will have some signage. You can't see through most shop windows these days as they are all plastered with signs.

So, the project continues. There are a few more photos in the Gallery. Comments welcome as always.

Superbly done as usual. Someone recently said all your faces look alike. This one surely does not!
ReplyDeleteTatoo Parlor, but not a Tatoo. Whoppee, gotta be a piercing that is tempting her! That should be INTERESTING!

That is just a great caricature Lynn. The details are great like the frillies at the bottom of the coat. Can't wait to see the whole scene!

Your creativity contiues to surprise and amaze me - another great job. I too, find it hard to wait to the the completed work.
ReplyDeleteRon
I can only imagine that you mentioned a Cat(or Kitty)at her feet, combined with the slang for Tattoo is Tat has many possibilities. Can't wait to see!!!
ReplyDeleteYou will need to do a follow up carving with her showing off the work she had done.
ReplyDeleteGeez Lynn we are gonna have enough old "blisters" running around with tattoos in 30/40 years! LOL
