Here’s a new one. With the walnut base he stands about 12″ tall to the tip of the feathers. I was a little worried about the colors as they were a little dark compared to other pieces but it turned out pretty nice. A lot of people ask me why I never do a smiling Indian….well, back in the period I try to represent, they didn’t really have that much to smile about. Anyway, this piece should silence those comments…at least for a little while. The gold tooth makes his smile just a little brighter!
I added a beaded ring around the top of the hat to add a little interest and also used some texture material to soften the braid wraps. I left the fan feathers a single color so it wouldn’t detract from the overall figure.
I hope you like him and will look forward to any comments.
