Swanee, how I love ya, how I love ya...

Yes, my dear old Swanee is now complete with wings!






She's become known as Swanee in our house - Al Jolson style! We just sing the one word, as in: "How's the Swanee coming along?" or "I'm going to do more on the Swanee today"! She measures approximately 7 1/2 inches high, 6 1/2 inches wide and 15 inches in length.




In case you missed it in the last post (which was quite long) I completed the portrait of my Mammy as a young girl as well!

Thank you Queeny! Yes I am, but I try not to get too excited because I know anything can happen in the kiln!

I hope we get to skype soon!

Hey Linda,
I loooovvvvveeee Swanee. She is sublime. And you did such a great job on her. she will be fine in the kiln don't you worry. I have never had any problems with coil built sculpture and I'll bet you won't either because she is so well made.
Awesome!
