I made another little pod face, this time in a seashell. The shell itself is 2" from tip to tip, and the little face measures just 3/4". Sculpting on such a tiny scale was a challenge, but also a good learning experiece. There are at least half a dozen things I will do differently next time, but I'm still satisfied with this little practice piece.

I want to make a little faux-coral stand for him, and maybe hang some pearl dangles off his tip. I didn't intend for him to look as if he has horns - that's just the way the shell is!

I love him! Wonderful work in such small scale. He looks like an ancient sea spirit.
that is wonderful.. and I think a small scale in most mediums is difficult.. my fingers usually dont want to cooperate!!
very cool looking :D could be part of a fantasy story with someone trapped in a shell.
oh yes winter is fun. love the ice and how I fall on my backside ;)
WOW...amazing work, Judi!
I've commented on this little guy elsewhere, but thought I'd remind you that he's welcome at my house if you get tired of him!!! (:o)
Wow Judi he is lovely. He looks like a spirit looking out of a shell. Love the embellisments.
I have not touched anything arty lately. The run up to Christmas is very busy and I am so behind with posts. I don't think I will be able to catch up before I leave
