As stated in my previous journal entry, I have decided the order of the masks I will be working on next:

1. Lion of Judah mask (White lion).  This mask will feature a set of :iconsharpe19:'s resin "following" eyes.

2. Fu Dog Mask - I have decided the basic concept and color scheme for this mask (which remains a surprise!).  The basic shape is a little bit lupine.  This mask is ESPECIALLY at the point of no return because I just purchased a whopping 127 carat circular labradorite cabochon for this mask and this mask alone.  None of my other designs utilize a 4 cm cabochon!  

3. Phoenix Mask - I purchased an intriguing cabochon for this mask: a "Tiger Iron" it's called.  This stone is a combination of tiger's eyes, red jasper, and hematite and has a distinct tiger stripe patter.  Honestly, I would not be surprised if I don't get to this mask until summer.  I expect the fu dog to eat up at least 40 hours of work...especially with the concept I have sketched out....:(.  No fire birdie for a LONG time

4. Dew dragon (this may come before the phoenix.  Depends on how long the Fu Dog takes....)

So there we have it!  Thanks for the help and support guys!

I'm an eclectic artist and love to try new forms of art. This is very evident in my gallery since you will see everything from photography, digital paintings, and photo-manipulations to leather crafting, costuming, and fur work.

My first devotion is to God. That's not going to change. He is the ONLY reliable, truthful thing in this world.

As an artist I strongly believe in expressing change and growth which is why you will find my old, cruddy stuff from 4 years ago and back. I love to see how other artists grow and change and I love to help other artists, newbie or master, with making their work better.

I am always open for commissions unless I post otherwise. Ask me and I can probably do it.

Commissions I DON'T do:
-Sexual themed images
-Zombies (don't like em and have never been into even drawing them)
-Witchcraft/Pagan religious themed material (symbols, ritualistic crafts, god/goddess pictures/crafts, etc...)
-Furries (depends. I have been known to make exceptions)
-Yaoi (gross)
-Metalwork (wish I could)

Other than that...I'll probably do it!

Of course! How long did it take you to make the little green-eyed horned owl? He's my favorite.

Ooooooh! I wants! I would safety pin him to my shoulder at school since I'm somewhat known as the "owl girl"

Oh? :)
This is the first someone (in my 5 years on dA) has approached me saying to be a sister in Christ! What church do you go to? I go to Triangle Church of Christ in Morrisville, NC.

By the way, I adore your username (kestrels are beautiful birds) and your FELTED OWLS!!!!!!!!!!! HOO HOO!

Really? Wow! I'm surprised I'm the first! I go to a pretty large (but not mega) non-denominational church in the midwest U.S. Bible's always first in teaching, as it should be :)

Thanks so much! Kestrels are some of my favorite birds, though it's really hard to choose a favorite, lol.

My church is not technically part of an official denomination but we're called "Church of Christ" because we are Christ's bride and church.

Kestrels are so lovely.
