The Neighbour (work in progress)

Do you think you could put a spotlight on it say with a green bulb? Then you could flick the switch when she puts the bins out at night

Thanks for the replies, and don't worry Rob I have calmed down a bit now, but I'm now left not knowing what to do with it.

 

I had a bit more of a play last weekend, and at 5' tall, this is how it now looks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is still much to do, but it is taking shape. Someone is giving me a load of horse hair for the head, and I'm also carving a shrunken head which will be held by yet more hair in the right hand. I also need to do more work with the blow lamp.

 

I have also never carved hands before, and it is suprising just how hard it is to engage your brain to the finger/thumb aspect of them. That was a bit of a learning curve for me.

 

 

edit... I forgot to mention that I am entering this in an art exhibition at Alfriston in November. It could prove to be a bit controversial!

i dont have neighbours but that is pretty much how I feel about the sad small minded little people that live closest

What about putting the fish thing with the teeth on in the garden!

Once the art exhibition in November is done and dusted, the fish thing will be heading straight outside.

 

 

 

 

Anything to stop the old bag from going outside!!

Would hate to cross you on a bad day.

I've been struggling for time of late, but thought that I had better get the little warrior finished before Halloween.

 

The hair has taken between 8-10 hrs to do, with over 500 holes drilled in the scalp, then horse hair threaded in. I still need to drill more holes to fill it out, and cover the forehead a bit, but it's getting there.

 

I also bought an old hairdressers training head from Ebay for £7.00 and started work on it this afternoon. Again, there is more to do, but the result so far is 'looking up'
