Venus, Part 2

Added 2020-04-30 13:48:17 +0000 UTC

A little while ago, I wrote about the idea of the Venus. It’s frequently amazing how, if you put something out there into the aether, it eventually comes back to say hello.

So, what an exceptional surprise. And, such a refreshing thing to discover how somebody channels quarantine time into an outlet.

Case in point, a good friend who has used this strange time to dive deep into her creative side. She’s a very capable sculptor in her own right, and has used her talents to create this incredible pair of Venuses inspired by my body. Each about 8 inches tall. The one on the left, from the front view, is called “Balanced Silence;” the one on the right is called “Dancing Queen.” Certainly two dichotomous sides of my personality!

Sculpting, I’ve been told, is very delicate process, and anything can go wrong at any time. Especially when it comes to putting the finished piece into the kiln. So keep your fingers crossed that these Two Versions of Heather can take the heat!

Also, kinda wish I had those hips. 🤤 And, I wish my boob could do that jumping trick without resulting in a back injury! 🤣
