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 couldn't afford to cast it.. so it started to collapse because of the weight of the clay and the three years it stood. I did save the clay from the shoulders up.. I'll post a picture of that in the comments area. Broke my heart to have to destroy this piece..
