It took a while (days....) to make all the leaves and fruits which ornate the frame. I gave up to count the leaves at 300.... It is 10 cm long and 15 cm high at the heighest point. I made it a bit blurry, as it is an old piece and the mirrors fade and blind with time.
The first steps: sculpting the frame and the fruits
Sculpting finished, but still unpainted:
Covered with gesso and partially painted
Painted and aged
We have tropical heat here, so I won't make too much in the next few days, but I hope I will be able to post next week.
Have a great week,
Orsi
Wow, what patience ... how many little fruits! It's beautiful!

Thank you Eliana, yes, it wasn't the easiest piece of my life. Not because it was complicated, but I needed all of my patience to complete it :))
