I’m Ready for My Close-Up Mr. DeMille. That classic line from Sunset Boulevard. Cecil B. DeMille an American Director, Producer & Actor made 70 feature films including Silent Films between 1914 & 1958. Delores will be starting in her own version of this classic “Sunset Boundaries” a Perilous Tale of Crossing Prehistoric Boundaries after Dark, co-staring William Hadrosaurus & Erich Von Spinosaurus. How did Delores get ready for her close-up? Well, after Delores’ primary Colors and Splashes of Sunset Red, it was time to work on her mouth. A face and body masking allowed for spraying Hammered Silver. After the removing the masking, Touch-ups with Aubergine and an Accent on the Snout was added.
Next Dolores’ Teeth received a Gloss White treatment and Metallic Apple Red applied to her Tongue. The Touch-ups with Aubergine & Sunburst Yellow, Snout Accents, Teeth and Tongue were accomplished by dipping Artist Brushes in Paint Sprayed into the Paint Caps then applied to the surfaces. Night Black Metallic created the Pupils in her Eyes. Hammered Silver in her Nostrils is a nice detail. Sunburst Red completed the Snout Accents. Feathering the Sunburst Red on the Snout Accent resulted in a reverse of the Head Crest Design. We like this very much. It’s a Sunny Day and Delores can’t make up her mind which Sunglasses to wear – Decisions, Decisions! Movie Stars and their issues, what can you do? Delores poses for her many fans on the Red Carpet.

I used watercolors to make Dinosaur Designs on my N95 Masks (New Ones above). I couldn’t get a yes or no from 3M regarding any impact this might have to the effectiveness of the mask. Many Museums sell Dinosaur Themed Masks Check them Out!
