All finished! Here's the second in what may well be an eight kirin series, but at least a four one. This is the earth kirin, and she was a heck of a lot of work. Her metallic colors are interference paints, so they shift around depending on the angle of the light. It's a very nice effect that doesn't come across in photos at all. She is best viewed in sunlight, where the green in particular comes across very nicely. She has a green crystal on her forehead. I am considering selling her. Anybody interested can make an offer, although I shall spare a few of you the effort and say that offers under $50 won't be considered.
