Much to my surprise I finished YET ANOTHER Mushroom base:










Seen here the previous "last Mushrooms of Winter":




Until whenever.

One more kaleidoscope of bold colors for us mushroomaniacs!
I always enjoy your faces and here we meet an innovation, the starry spots!
It is great seeing you so prolific! Cheers!

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, Dinos. I am happy you like the latest base.
The dark blue cap reminded me of the night sky; SO I went with the star field.
The busier I stay the happier I am. It is wonderful for combating depression.

Agreed, it really helps! Are you locked in like a lot of people because of the 'cervesa bug'?

No; not yet at any rate. Things have gotten strange here, but we are still free to go roaming.

Really love this bunch too. Great painting and those tall winding stalks are just lovely.

I was inspired by some of the Pinterest photos to do the long, slender stem. There is something graceful & elegant about them that I was hoping to duplicate.
Thanks for the reply, Fram. I am glad you like them.

It is the first day of Spring; ergo, The Year of The Goblin is over. AND the last Supporting Cast Mushroom was just finished:






The last three Mushroom bases of The Year:




Until later...whenever that is.

All your latest batches of shrooms are fantastic!

It is hilarious that you speak of inertia given all that you come up with! I wish i had your inertia! You get more done in a week than I can manage in a season!

Great work, Al!

Thanks, Bret. I am happy you like the latest Mushrooms in the Woods/Swamp/Cavern/wherever.
When the thingies are done it does seem like I am knocking them out a good clip. While they are in the works it seems like it is taking FOREVER...I also probably have more hobby/craft time in a week than you do in a season. Just keep the interest going until you retire AND voila!

Amazing work!

hank you Karwick! I am glad you like The Stuff.

You do not stop amazing us with the uniqueness of each new mushroom you create!
The color palette of the whole new bunch is so harmonious! I especially like the middle base!

Thanks again for a kind reply, Dinos. I am happy you like the latest addition. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
We all have our strong points. Mine seems to be making each piece, even those miniatures that are exactly the same, look unique. Personality is my thing.
You would imagine that with all the bright colors I use that things would clash, but they seem to work together. I thing consistent base colors & having the pieces worked on in flow is the key

I am self-employed and in my 50s, so I will probably be able to retire mid-23rd Century. I hope my interest is still strong then!

I glossed over this detail the first time, but I just noticed the shining stars you put on the blue cap on that right hand shroom, making it look like a starry night. Always nice Easter eggs in your work, and why it is a joy to review again.

That and the unique style you have, both in the sculpting and the painting.  You are creating a piece of art with your collection. I still hold out hope of seeing an assembly one day......and the book of course  ;)

Wonderful creations as always Al.
