		<title>14 weeks and 6 days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mamas Iguanabanas is finished! I ran into my second snafu during the completion of the final details. (My first snafu was with the tail design, which at this point seems so long ago.) Anyway, the idea was to have a glitzy copper engraving of the Mayan baktun between the two peyote cups. Well even with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Week 14 + 2 days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It took about a week and a half to finish the yarn art. Certainly not as long as the iguana, but still longer than I thought it would take. Now 2 days past the week 14 mark I am beginning the baktun emblem in the center of the cups. The end is oh so near.

		<title>Week 13 – a new appreciation for the Huichol</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The iguana was finished at the beginning of this week – eyes and symbols down the spine.


Now I&#8217;m working on the bra portion of the harness. This portion of the piece pays homage to the Huichol, descendants of the Aztec. The technique is called &#8216;yarn painting&#8217; (you may remember a similar craft project when you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Week 12 – not built on scales alone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the beginning of week 12 I was a little tired of scales – imagine that! So I gave myself a break to take a photo I missed taking ages ago and start prepping for the yarn painted gourd cups.
This is the photo I missed taking before. While the iguana innards were sculpted out of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Week 11 – Happy New Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last post of 2011. The end of this week marks the end of week 11 of construction, and I am still doing scales. Initially I anticipated that I would be in construction for 3 months, but holiday commitments have extended my timeline a bit. So now I&#8217;m anticipating completion within a 14 week period.
As [...]]]></description>

		<title>Week 10 – scales, scales, scales….scales</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hope you are enjoying the holiday season. As you can see I&#8217;m stuck in the world of scales&#8230;and will be for a while.

		<title>Week 9 – let the details begin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This will be the last photo I post of the entire iguana. From here on out, every photo posted will be only close-up details. The only way to see progress of the entire piece is to be on my &#8220;friends email blasts&#8221; or check back after the show in October 2012. I will still be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Week 8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Actually I have finished more than of which I have photos. I finished today the dermis covering of the front hind leg and foot, but it was late when I finished and the lighting was not good enough for a photo. So that photo will wait until next week&#8217;s stream.
Completion of dermis layer on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Week 7 – a little nip-n-tuck</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I expected, the dermis will be a little slower going than the other layers, but there were also some minor &#8220;surgeries&#8221; necessary to achieve the look I want and model comfort – it&#8217;s best if the model is comfortable:) So this week&#8217;s work included: painting the claws; placing suede pads on the bottom of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Week 6 – A tale of two tails</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you&#8217;ll recall last week&#8217;s post ended with a not so wonderful tale. The first attempt to the iguana&#8217;s glorious ending was not so glorious. As a matter of fact it was puny, lifeless and all-in-all without spunk. This week the tail end problem has been fixed and replaced with a much more robust ending. [...]]]></description>
