> Jian-Mei: "Beautiful, Strong:--
> Hi Everyone
>
> I wanted to share a photo of a new commission that I just completed for a
> chinese physician here in Saint Louis. I call it "Jian Mei" which means
> "beautiful strong." The client and I wanted to have some indication of her
> ethnicity in the piece yet still have it retain its anonymity. There are
> chinese characters on the belt and other symbols on the base. We took
> impressions on her 40th birthday after she had been working with a trainer all
> year in preparation.
>
> I wanted to share some technical tricks. The drapery and belt are added on with
> epoxy resin and very much become a solid part of the piece. Despite her
> training, I wanted her to appear in really top form so I used "duct tape" up and
> down her sides to pull the skin taut before molding. The tape attached near the
> front and is cinched across the back. This was useful in lifting and reshaping
> the breasts as well. It's as uncomfortable for the model as it sounds but well
> worth it in her opinion! Afterwards, some additional resculpting is required to
> remove the areas where the tape shows through.
