MadDog Mike's Platterful of Pupule - El Tiki/Ben Wilson Wall Finished - Other Crafts

I started working on a Headhunter's Bonepile Windchime for my friend HilTiki I've got a skull, femur, radius & ulna, scapula, clavicle, four vertebrae and a hand. The skull is slipcast from a mold, the rest are formed from paperclay. Since the fiber in paperclay helps wick the moisture to the outside, thick objects like these can be allowed to dry faster without cracking. The plan is to hang the bones from the skull. A solar light in the top of the skull will illuminate the eyes at night as well as shine some light down on the hanging bones. I have just realized that the femur is probably too long to fit in my kiln :lol: I'll have to fire it in someone else's kiln
