My latest happenings- PANTALONE

I hope for you who celebrate, you had a wonderful Thanksgiving........here in Australia we don't celebrate but I'm very thankful for my family and friends and my life...........

I was quite busy with end of year stuff and designing my latest project, PANTALONE,

(pron: PUNT-A-LON-Y) another character from Commedia D'Arte- http://www.mmunzonedesigns.com/page6.html

He is very rich fellow, but mean and grumpy, a bit like Scrooge, he carries his money bag and a small sword and mask.

Well, until yesterday morning when I had a fall and broke my elbow, now I'm so fustrated I can't do much with one hand but type, oh well it will be all right........
Anyway, he is almost finished, just need to add the finishing touches, I want to share some pics of him so far.
I have made a mask for him which he will hold in his hand.

Tell me what you think of him.

Cheers, Michelle
