Finished the elephant Thursday and the sun was shining and there was enough afternoon left to photograph it but the Sony camera gave me only error messages. So I used the tiny Canon snapshot camera and got these images. It is not easy to capture in a photo what kind of animal this is. I did have a marvelous time embellishing the back but I suspect that ruins the 'read' of the animal. Maybe I need to be more sparing of the embellishment? I see I 'forgot' to add the 'earrings' - I suspect that when I got all this on, some level of taste inserted itself and I gave up the idea of adding more.
I loaded the camera's batteries, set it to the proper option, took off the lens cover and it worked perfectly just as the sun set. So I started the iguana and I love him! His head is so well-formed. Even the eyes are perfectly made. Went to bed happy and relaxed.
