Hi Everyone,

Last week Ron, my hubby, made a rock  base for the Indian woman.  So I decided to take some pics of her on the base since she’s almost finished.  What do you think of the base?  I think that it gives her an earthy feel.  He made the sculpture base out of papercrete which is just concrete with sand and a bunch of shredded paper.  The paper makes the base lighter.

She had read on his website that his daughter was the inspiration for his book “War Star Rising: The Legend of Toucan Moon.” Here’s a link to his book:  http://www.zoodoc-stories.com/Novels.html

When I got to the part about the doll that he sent to Iris, but she never knew it was from him, he cried. How very sad that Iris’ mother and grandmother conspired to keep him from seeing her.
