Here’s the witch doctor. Although I keep trying to add to him, I think the magic (see what I did there?) may be in knowing when to stop. I just need to put in the background. I think his earring may be too long. Apologies for the night time photo.

Such an impressive piece already! I like the long earrings because they give it such movement and that's great. The only problem may be the background, it would be a pity if the earrings got lost in it. Do you already have plans for the background?

Absolutely stunning and gorgeous - I love it/him! And, you are absolutely right that knowing when to stop is a skill/talent that every good artist needs to learn. It's so easy to ruin a beautiful work of art by not knowing when to stop. I'm not sure about the earrings. I like them very much, but I think Cat makes a good point about them becoming lost in the background. If you go with a dark color like black or navy blue, I think the earrings would stand out. Looking forward to seeing the finished piece! And, now I think I know where Cat has been getting her inspiration lately! Dawn

I would probably use my beloved blue hex beads for the background Yes, Dawn, Michelle talked about glueing the dagger beads on because they were so slippery which always had been my problem with the spikes as well. Glueing the spikes worked wonders and using spikes in one piece led to more. I'm so grateful for her to have mentioned that!

Thanks ladies! I purchased some dark blue beads. But they have white insides, so I won’t be using them for this. I tried. They looked awful. Maybe I’ll try to find some hex beads!

I really hope now that you will like them and I haven't babbled you into doing something. Even if you don't like them for the background, though, you will be able to use them for something else.

I have been loving how the hex beads look in your projects. And this is the perfect place to jump in and try them. So I share with you about gluing daggers, and you share hex beads with me. It’s one of the great things about this group!
