You’re probably not able to tell this but have done a lot of work on her head and really satisfied with the progress so far. The head should be finished this Friday, and it will look more like Dolly. Thanks

Please remember none of the bottoms is tied, so it may look a little loose in the video! .

This week came close to finishing the shirt and neck. Hopefully, next week will complete this project. I do think it will be May 11th to the 15th for the delivery. I still got to get this to look like Dolly and hoping next week will be good for me. Lol -Ricky

This week will finish up the shirt and neck, hopefully, some on the face.

[title style=”bold-center” text=”4/24/2020″ tag_name=”h2″]

It may be hard to see, but the shirt on the right side is what is being worked on as we enter next week I will try to finish the neck and the shirt then the plan is to complete the head paint put back together with in the next two weeks and play it by ear on what to do. If I have time, I would like to work more on the hair, but I think it may be best to wait and see how the next two weeks turn out. What you see now from the last update on Wednesday is 18 1/2 hours work.
Thank you -Ricky

As of Wednesday 4/21 today I think I may have the back hair working in my favor here is a video of the look. The issue is doing the hair in section to look seamless, it took four-section instead of two. As of today twenty rolls of chicken wire 18 inch by 150 feet have been used!

I removed all the old hair and redid every bit of it because she started to resemble Farrah Fawcett. Worked on the face as you can see the right side is not fully attached, but the eyes are coming out more. You may notice you can see through her at times, one of the last things I’ll do if fill the inside to block light from passing through.

 Not a lot to show this week. I re-worked the hair and not sure if I like the way I’ve got it going now, I will take the weekend and study Mis. Dolly’s hair and may change it again come Monday. I did spend a day on the eyes, and little on the month just started to tweak it a little, and the day was going.

The top of her hair was very high so I re-worked most of last weeks work!

I think over the next two weeks you will see more progress than any two week so far.

 Not much to update this week. I worked all week on the frame for the hair and got some underlayment done and some hair as well. It doesn’t look like her at this moment, but it will come out very well… There will be seven pieces to the art piece instead of five. I will spend time, in the end, to make it look like her, but I need the hair completed first.

Just a little under two and a half weeks before the two-month mark is here up on us. I will continue to try to hit this mark but will not know until the end of next week. The quality should come first, and if it takes a little longer, I feel that it would be worth it in the long run.

Although it does not look like a lot is accomplished this week. I’m somewhat satisfied, for this week is probably the hardest week. Working on the deep shadows, so it’s almost like a reverse effect. Can’t help to see Kurt Douglas in all this.

You’re probably not able to tell this but have done a lot of work on her head and really satisfied with the progress so far. The head should be finished this Friday, and it will look more like Dolly. Thanks

Please remember none of the bottoms is tied, so it may look a little loose in the video! .

This week came close to finishing the shirt and neck. Hopefully, next week will complete this project. I do think it will be May 11th to the 15th for the delivery. I still got to get this to look like Dolly and hoping next week will be good for me. Lol -Ricky

This week will finish up the shirt and neck, hopefully, some on the face.

[title style=”bold-center” text=”4/24/2020″ tag_name=”h2″]

It may be hard to see, but the shirt on the right side is what is being worked on as we enter next week I will try to finish the neck and the shirt then the plan is to complete the head paint put back together with in the next two weeks and play it by ear on what to do. If I have time, I would like to work more on the hair, but I think it may be best to wait and see how the next two weeks turn out. What you see now from the last update on Wednesday is 18 1/2 hours work.
Thank you -Ricky

As of Wednesday 4/21 today I think I may have the back hair working in my favor here is a video of the look. The issue is doing the hair in section to look seamless, it took four-section instead of two. As of today twenty rolls of chicken wire 18 inch by 150 feet have been used!

I removed all the old hair and redid every bit of it because she started to resemble Farrah Fawcett. Worked on the face as you can see the right side is not fully attached, but the eyes are coming out more. You may notice you can see through her at times, one of the last things I’ll do if fill the inside to block light from passing through.

 Not a lot to show this week. I re-worked the hair and not sure if I like the way I’ve got it going now, I will take the weekend and study Mis. Dolly’s hair and may change it again come Monday. I did spend a day on the eyes, and little on the month just started to tweak it a little, and the day was going.

The top of her hair was very high so I re-worked most of last weeks work!

I think over the next two weeks you will see more progress than any two week so far.

 Not much to update this week. I worked all week on the frame for the hair and got some underlayment done and some hair as well. It doesn’t look like her at this moment, but it will come out very well… There will be seven pieces to the art piece instead of five. I will spend time, in the end, to make it look like her, but I need the hair completed first.

Just a little under two and a half weeks before the two-month mark is here up on us. I will continue to try to hit this mark but will not know until the end of next week. The quality should come first, and if it takes a little longer, I feel that it would be worth it in the long run.

Although it does not look like a lot is accomplished this week. I’m somewhat satisfied, for this week is probably the hardest week. Working on the deep shadows, so it’s almost like a reverse effect. Can’t help to see Kurt Douglas in all this.
