Finishing a Headdress of a Clay I was working on in 2010

 

From over 10 years ago. I created feathers for this headdress out of Wax, and here I attach them to the sculpture. This clay was eventually destroyed.

I'll post a picture of that in the comments area. Broke my heart to have to destroy this piece..
