Hello TC art swap-peers,

For starters - I'm diggin' on all the creative work shown here so far. I've participated in two prior swaps; I feel that the subject focus has progressed in a challenging way and THIS swap has enticed me to jump off of my comfort zone (painting) and land on a 3-Dimensional vista :)

For the record I made enormous progress over the weekend. In between moments of working on a bedroom PolyPop makeover...reed applied to walls and general decorating - I worked on my shrunken-head project. Below are four more teaser pics w/ descriptions. Enjoy.

Filmo clay model right out of the oven (a paper-mache core.)

1st Pass acrylic paint phase. Blue, green, brown and grey.

Roping the eyes and the mouth. Satin spray applied to head to dull color.

The beginning of the hair application process. Bought human hair and white glue.

My next photos shall be of the finished project. Stay-tuned!
