Moving on to the next phase of the Ritual Box

Willow has approved the left and right side of the box, and the front.  The artist who was kind enough to allow me to use her Mut image, Amy Clark Anderson, (available for commissions, you can contact her here: amyclark.arts@gmail.com) has confirmed, so now it’s a go all around.

Left and right sides…

And the front….there’s a lot here, so it’s a longer shot.

So this is all ready for the first layer of burning, which, needless to say, is going to take me quite some time.  I’m also going to start shading the lotus on the lid.  So yeah…I gottalottawork to do.

Joyful, loving work.  Can’t wait.  So psyched it’s a long weekend!

Now with even MORE shading!

Okay…so I worked on the sand dunes a bit, and just like I thought, it made the camels get a little lost, so I had to RE burn the camels and make them darker.

But oh…it was SO worth it.  Lookey here.

Lookit you, lookin' all dead-sexeh for a camel!

In addition, I did some more work on the hourglass.  It’s not done yet, but I think I made some good headway.

It has a bit to go yet, but at least I got it started.

What’s most impressive is how the whole package is coming along.  Very happy so far.

I did some shading around the circle too, but it needs some more detail on it still.  I'll talk to Willow about it, see if she wants it solid black.  The symbolism for her is stricter than most.

Yeah…enlarge those.  It’s worth it.
