My Creativity Resolution

I will suspend the rules in order to explore
I will explore in order to play
I will play in order to create pieces that express myself
to venture beyond what I have been taught
to open doors I did not know were there
to immerse myself in color and form
to cross over, to prod, to swerve, to jump
where white is not white
where black is not black
where even gray is purple

Uncle Sam Doll

Yesterday I decided that I wanted to go ahead and try making another holiday doll (Uncle Sam), this one for fourth of July.  I'm using four palette packs (8-value packs): McIntosh Million 101, Blush Red 113, Alexander Blue 109, and Shades of Dusk 123.  Here is my progress so far.  I have hooked the face and hat in #4 to get detail, and the rest of the figure I am hooking in #6.  He will stand just over two feet tall and will be 7 inches wide.
