Shrunken Heads and Headhunters Art Swap - Draw List p20 - Other Crafts

The strings you see now are "placeholders". Buried in the clay, they will burn out in the kiln and hopefully leave channels for me to feed new strings through after the final glazing. It really is hollow - has a straw hole in the top of the head now and should hold about 20 ounces (give or take) I'm EXCITED!!! It's actually turning out like I envisioned :D This is my second attempt at sculpting a face (the other was a shrunken head too) Nice thing about shrunken heads is that, by nature, they are distorted and asymetrical - makes it easier for people like me. Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. - Scott Adams [ Edited by: MadDogMike 2010-03-31 09:03 ]
