Mushroom

Okay, something is wrong with the full picture.  I do NOT know why, but it looks a bit wrong, distorted.  I think it isn't that tall on top, OR the cap is wider.  Could be an illusion that only I am seeing.

In person the color is better.  Also, if you scroll down about three posts I think, you'll see this mushroom before I padded the cap.  It's a tiny bit bigger now. I just like it better.  Looks more organic this way.

Still not at all happy with my photo results, but that's why I'm doing this, to learn.  I may try stopping now and work on dolls in the daytime and photographing art at night.  One problem was that there is a window a few feet behind the light tent I'm using.  We'll see how this does at night.  And moving the lights further away from the tent may help too.

Trying to set a price.  Thinking less than a hundred.  It's about 6" tall.  Mixed media.  And as with a lot of my work, it's nearly all re-purposed stuff that is now gracing my shelf as a mushroom rather than in a landfill someplace.  There is a bit of clay for the face and hands, and paint.  That's all that I can think of that were new.

The last two were taken from slightly above, looking a bit down.
