Introducing 'Miss Ohio'. I have been working on this piece off and on for 6 months. I never, never spend that much time on a piece. This piece was so difficult for so many reasons. First, creating these layers on the skirt as part of the armature is really difficult. My hands were torn up after trying to get into those tiny little spaces with wire mesh. Then when I was concreting it, I had to create new ways to apply the concrete as my tradtional method would not reach the inner sections under each tier. As I worked in applying the tile, I had to inch into each section to adhere the mirrors. Finally, grouting into those crevices took 2 patient sessions. I am so happy to be finished with her, I can't tell you! I am thrilled with the result and hope she will find a happy home!
