Made by Amy Jones
Made with Styrofoam head with top of head hollowed out for foam block and flowers, sealed with gesso, wet pm clay, enlarged features for stripped bamboo skewers, sealed with more gesso and sanded smooth, spray paint with chestnut gloss, red mask with cadmium red, lips lightly dry brushed with same red, lined bottom eyelids with dry brushed dark brown. Tear made with aqua elmers glitter glue. Finished off with foam block and silk flowers.
What a beautiful face. Enchanting, but, of course, the skewers made me squeamish!
Thank you very much! I had to stay true to the indigenous peoples’ dress, and this is customary for them. It turned out to be a statement piece! ?
I really like it. And I think you need the statement piece. It looks integral to the work. Thanks.
