Gigi the Gorilla lady

Made by Pia Blackwell

She is done for the most part just awaiting base and final coat of varnish . Gigi lived at the Franklin Park Zoo she was 47 years old . Her passing left a big void and when I saw the zoo’s post about her passing ,I made the offer to sculpt her and donate it to the zoo. Here she is ! Face done with Joni’s smooth paper clay hair etc with a cellulose clay I modified from an original recipe.
