Day 27: Create a fused glass powder sgraffito drawing of our model, Albert.

Day 1 of Albert:  Here's Big Al, so far, sans hair.  He looks more like an aged Kojak to me, but we shall see... ! 
 
While I was working, I couldn't help but wonder what Albert would think of our little exercise.  I don't know much about Albert Einstein personally other than he was a genius and is known for e=mc2.  He did marry (twice) and have children and his quotes are full of wisdom with a slice of humor.  So, I think this might give him a chuckle.
 
I wanted to stop here, but I actually continued after I took this "in progress" photo.  I think he may be done, but in studying my photo, I see things I want to clean up a bit, so I'm going to let him "simmer" on the work table tonight and see what he looks like to me tomorrow. 
 
Surprisingly, though I did start upside down, I did most of this work right side up.  And, regardless of whether he ends up looking like Einstein or not, I'm amazed that within a month, I could sketch a human being that is recognizable!  THANK YOU KELLY CROSSER ALGE!!!
