Wintertime in Sugarcreek

It's wintertime again in small town Sugarcreek, the entire place is covered with snow and people come out with shovels in hand.  This ritual of winter brings people together, they bundle up ready to clear paths on their walkways and also those of their neighbors'.   On these snow days what fun it is for the kids to build a snowman and after all that work they get to enjoy some hot cocoa and cupcakes!

The Terracotta Warriors Unveiled... PICS and VIDEO

Terracotta Warriors Project

   The GOLDEN WARRIOR... his face is on fire... as he rides through the snow clouds in the sky!

 The UTOPIAN... the face that launched a thousand chariots... the unflinching face of the ideal warrior!

* * * * * * *

The GOLDEN WARRIOR

Snow clouds in metallic silver painted all over the dark blue sky.

Golden warriors never die, they ride away in glory across the endless sky!

The UTOPIAN

Metallic gold paint is ragged on red ground, creating a rich "brocade" look.

Heather gray is done by ragging 3 shades of light gray mixed with metallic silver paint.

 The Chinese characters mean... Honor, Strength, Courage, Loyalty, Skillful. These are the characteristics of a true Utopian Warrior!

Tassel footwear is very Michael Jackson... square but very cool... love it!

  That unflinching face in deep thought... hmmm... what is he thinking?

 The Warriors and I

Thank you for looking!
