3/23/2006 - Rosie's almost together

The picture isn't much, but it gives you a little image of ole Rosie last week.  She was painted all black at this point and not much to look at.  You can't even see the 2nd face unless you blow the pic up.  It is the only one I had at this stage. Sorry..  As of today, if you can image, rosie is painted a dark green color and highlighted.  I have been painting this thing green so long that my hands are green, and it is tuff to get it off.  One night we dropped off my step daughter at the mall and my wife suggested we goto a resturant to eat.  I stil had green all over my hands.  I thought it would be a bad idea but the wife told me she wanted to go.  By the end of the night my face was now green.  Now everyone was starting to look at me and giggle.  You can guess that I really wanted to leave.  Oh well.  The vines that I got from Grapegrl are not shown here but today ole rose has vines from the pod which rap around rosie untill it reachers her head.  It also goes around the arms and the bottom tenicals.  I don't think you can see the 2nd face but it is between the bottom tenticals.  I made the mouth the same as the top except it is open.  I have not painted that part yet, but I am getting closer.  The pod turned out better than I thought.  It kind of reminds me of an aliens' pod, which where the vines look like they come from.  I am still adding effects to the pod and the face, but it gives you a basic shape of what it is going to look like.  I kinda like the all black look at first, but now green is growing on me.  All I can say is I hope I don't get dead last on this contest.  That would suck.  But if I do, it just means I have to work twice as hard next year.
