Sculpture... "The Hidden Soul of Harmony"

I found the piece of rusty metal when Bruce and I went on a walk at the beach on our anniversary, way back in May.  I knew then that I wanted to incorporate it into some art.

It seemed like a good base for a sculpture.  So when I got my new package of La Doll stone clay,  I picked out my bit of inspiration from Milton and glued it on.

Then moved on to working with the clay.    It is oddly different than drawing, yet all I have learned in drawing this past year came to my aid.   I am deep in the realms of having learned so much, and having so much to learn.  

She looks peaceful and serene.   

Untwisting all the chains that tie
