Thank you so much! I have no idea if I'll win though I hope I will. Even if I don't I think this peice has really helped me improve and expand the way I approach doll making. Ok sure dolling isn't what most people would probably call 'art' but its its own art form.. lol

Anywho your support is much appreciated and I can't tell you how flattered I am but all the positive input I've gotten!

Thanks!

Yeah using that pattern technique in dolling can be tricky and I've never been a strong shader. I do think though this particular peice has really started my own little journey of discovery. Hopefully in the future I'll have improved enough to be able to look back.. and truly see it for the peice of crap it is. haha At the moment.. I'm lovin' my Jamaican woman.

lol yeah.. the dithering comes from my compulsive need to 'tweek'...

anywho.. thanks for kudos! much appreciated!
