:icontora-sensei:
Here is a little sculpture I made my wife, for her birthday. It measures a hair over 4 inches high.
This is based on her drawing here:
[link]
which is further based on the traditional Japanese umbrella yokai (monster) called a 'karakasa' and the ever lucky Maneki Neko (or beckoning cat.)
I personally began torturing her a good week or so before her birthday, by not only informing her that I was sculpting something but by working on it in the same room. I managed to successfully keep her from figuring it out until present time.
She loved it.
