Sobhanandi Evers commented on Jared Beekman's blog post A little shameless promotion"I sold a statue of Kuan Yin on Marktplaats (a Dutch sort of Ebay) as a fundraising for a retreat centre we are building. It was bought by a woman who loved buddhist statues and it was the one she missed in her collection. I went with her to find a…"
Jared Beekman commented on Jared Beekman's blog post A little shameless promotion"I typically only work in graphite with a little chalk pastel for contrast so that's fairly cheap. $13 for pencils, 5-10 for pastels, then whatever a pad of giant paper happens to cost, about the same. I originally showed this piece at a show in…"

Are you going to be offering…"

While searching around for Tsa'Tsa moulds so I can work on my preliminary practices, and learning how to spell that word properly I might add, I found http://tsatsastudios.org and their idea of using rubber to make the statues to provide to inmates…See More
