New Figure on Papercrete Block Base



This is the new figure, the legs and torso are a natural tree branch; arms are a thick wire; all covered with wire mesh. I made a wooden form, filled it with wet papercrete, then set the legs of the sculpture. Now I won't have to deal with mounting it on a stand later! Yes, that's smart of me. Thank you.

I screwed a long screw into the top of the wood branch for a sturdy neck and the startings of a head. I'll build up the head with mesh next and then start applying the papercrete over the wire mesh.

This is exciting. I love the process.
