Title: My very own Mariah
Post by: Vandrefalk on 28-Sep-10, 04:07:59 PM
Some of you will recall a couple of years ago, Bob was trying to arrange to have a carving done of Mariah.  Well, we finally did it!  A wonderful artist in Rising Sun, MD (who usually does ducks and things) was able to do what we think is a very good likeness of our Queen,  So now I have my very own Mariah -- I often look at her and send good wishes to the real one!  Here is the link to some pictures -- enjoy!

Just beautiful!!!!!!  I have a picture of Mariah in my office and one at home. Whenever I look at her picture, i also say a prayer for her and tell her how much we care about her.

And I have seen this artist's work before!  Good choice!  about 2 hours up I-95 from me.

We may have to take this off-line, as I think I want one, too.

I'll add my 'Wow' to the comments too.  I've never seen a wood carving of a peregrine before, it's beautiful..so well done and so much detail!

I would so love to see your Mariah! But Big Mac does not like that "share" system. (And I don't like to yell at him, such is his sensitivity...)

So - any chance you could put up a few pix on the Forum as Jpegs? (Big Mac does not mind these.)

Thanks!

yes please because my computer does not like the new Kodak site either for some reason I can see the first picture but that is it I can never get it to go to the rest.  :confused:

Oh my! How splendid! You know, in that first pic, if you had put the sculpture outside, it could be the real Mariah. (If you see what I mean...?) You must be thrilled. What an amazing sculptor. Oh - and thanks for taking the time to post. (I hate to be left out!)

The eyes are Peregrine eyes.  Mesmerizing.  Dark brown with a hint of a pupil.  Exactly like Mariah's.   :heart:

I also meant to thank all of my dear friends who sent glorious pictures of Mariah so I could share them with the artist -- bless you!!
Thanks, Shaky, for posting the thumbnails -- what would we do without you?  (Don't answer that!)

Janet, you can email me off line:  vandrefalk at live dot com.

I think that if I were within arms reach of that sculpture.........
I would totally be tempted to stroke her head and offer her a chunk of quail.
