The last commission I worked on was a gift for the local cross country coach from her team. The cool thing about this commission was that I was able to use the coach's own drawing for the earrings. Unfortunately I had to lower the back leg of the runner so she was either just starting out or running slower than the original drawing. If I had kept the leg where it was the earring would have been waaaaay too wide. I also had to eliminate some of the little detail in the hat but I think it worked out anyway. I hear she was wearing them the other day. How cool is that to wear your own drawings on your ears?
I made them using a Photopolymer plate, which is really an easy process. It just takes a little experimenting on the computer to see how they'll look when they shrink. I used Standard clay for these so they would shrink a lot. That gave me the chance to work bigger, but not have huge earrings. I was pleased with the way they turned out. What do you think?
