Description
Here is a little sculpture I made my wife, for her birthday. It measures a hair over 4 inches high.This is based on her drawing here:
[link]
which is further based on the traditional Japanese umbrella yokai (monster) called a 'karakasa' and the ever lucky Maneki Neko (or beckoning cat.)
I personally began torturing her a good week or so before her birthday, by not only informing her that I was sculpting something but by working on it in the same room. I managed to successfully keep her from figuring it out until present time.
She loved it.

Lovely modelling work.

Thanks!! Micha gets most of the credit for this since it's her idea and her drawing even. I just sculpteded it. Micha has a lot of strange ideas...Most of them are cool! ^ ^ and the strangest is that she married me... That last sentence was from Micha. She stole my keyboard.

Yes, normal is just what everyone averages out to...it doesn't actually exist in nature.
