Artist's Comments

 Oh man, the story behind this thing.... This ended up being my final project for my maquette class at school. I had been working on this ultra elaborate sculpture of Odin and Sleipnir, but it got left in my car overnight and the heat half baked the ornery thing, so I ended up making this sculpture overnight to fill my three sculpture quota. I ended up taking it out of the oven, putting it on pot holders on my car seat, letting it cool while I drove to class, and painting it during our final meeting. In some ways I like this one better though. I mucked up the face. In the original sketch she has a cocky half smile, but the sculpture looks more worried. Still, I am quite fond of her.

Materials:

• Sculpy over wire and foil skeleton
• Pre-made wooden base
• Painted with Apple acrylics and detailed with colored pencil.

Total time: 12-ish hours
