It's a bit too big for the photo booth

# data[].attributes.body
I may have added 30 dollars worth of peacock feathers. I didn't know they were so expensive. Sorry, Mr. Stout

# data[].attributes.body
Last additions are crafts added onto the surface or hanging off

# data[].attributes.body
The four eyes are glowing, but then the ears and the nose areas are also glowing too. The details are gold paint

# data[].attributes.body
I hated the gray, so I repainted it

# data[].attributes.body
The layers stand out more

# data[].attributes.body
The more I look at it, the less symmetrical I realize it is

# data[].attributes.body
It makes it rock hard and smooth

# data[].attributes.body
It's hard to see but I added varying height details to the front of the mask

# data[].attributes.body
It's face was too round so I cut it open and took some newspaper out. Then I taped it back up very tightly. Not sure if it actually did anything, though

# data[].attributes.body
Used strips of newspaper covered in wheat paste to form a solid mask.

# data[].attributes.body
I made the face stick out a bit more

# data[].attributes.body
I crumpled up newspaper and taped it to the front to add volume to the mask

# data[].attributes.body
This is the back of the mask that I'll add the paper mache to

# data[].attributes.body
I cut the outline of my mask on newspaper as a stencil for the cardstock version

# data[].attributes.body
I put paper mache over a plastic face to create the face part of my mask

# data[].attributes.body
These are the drawings for my mask. I already knew what I wanted to make, but Mr. Stout made us draw three anyway.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an extra bowl I made

# data[].attributes.body
I just need to add the bumps to the outside now

# data[].attributes.body
Not sure if it looks how I wanted it to, but its fine. I was a little too impatient for the kirinuki technique to look right.

# data[].attributes.body
I was going to do a sculpture of the outside of the shell, but it was too thick so I just hollowed it out. I also had to thin out the inside of the bowl itself as I carved the shell.

# data[].attributes.body
This provides stability for the bowl

# data[].attributes.body
I have to leave it thick to do the kirinuki technique on the outside. Mr. Stout was a bit concerned, but I know what I'm doing ;)

# data[].attributes.body
This was actually on purpose, unlike when the fingers fell off. I have to cut it in half to hollow it out.

# data[].attributes.body
Now all of them are bent. I just need to do details.

# data[].attributes.body
Still bending more fingers

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to rehydrate the clay with a damp towel overnight. I guess I wasn't supposed to do that. The rapid change in waterness caused the fingers to fall off.

# data[].attributes.body
I had to cut the fingers and add clay to the openings in order to bend them realistically.

# data[].attributes.body
I added more clay to the palm and pulled the thumb forward

# data[].attributes.body
Next: cutting it out

# data[].attributes.body
All pinwheels have been added. I smoothed the edges and now all I have to do is let it dry and take the final picture.

The pictures don't show it, but it was really difficult trying to get these slabs to stand up on their own.

# data[].attributes.body
The first two pinwheels have been slipped and scored onto the slabs.

# data[].attributes.body
Now the slabs stand up by themselves without the container.

# data[].attributes.body
I used a container and other clay to hold up my first two wind slabs.

# data[].attributes.body
I cut shapes out of the wind for negative space. It also makes it more interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm going to make multiple twisting slabs to look like wind that the pinwheels will "float" on.

# data[].attributes.body
I made more

# data[].attributes.body
I folded the edges of square slabs to create pinwheels.

# data[].attributes.body
I finished adding the veins, so now my project is complete.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to make the background a lily pad, so I cut a section of it out. It was scary, but I think it looks nice. Then I split the back into sections (like leaves), and created some vein texture.

# data[].attributes.headline
All three slipped and scored onto the background

# data[].attributes.subject
All three slipped and scored onto the background

# data[].attributes.body
They are stuck there now. I just have to finish the background and add one final piece to the middle flower

# data[].attributes.body
Now just the bud and the partial flower are left. (Also the background design).

# data[].attributes.body
Just have to attach two more of the main pieces.

# data[].attributes.body
Finally got part of the main flower onto the background.

# data[].attributes.body
I just have to attach some more details to the center, and then attach all the layers together.

# data[].attributes.body
It's the flower that's going to be between the bud and the full flower. I forgot that I have to put stuff inside of the smallest layer, so it's going to be difficult now. Oops

# data[].attributes.body
I connected three of the four layers. The hole has to be there because it'd be too thick otherwise.

# data[].attributes.body
It's hard to see but I added texture to the petals

# data[].attributes.body
Accidentally made one petal too thin but I fixed it

# data[].attributes.body
I'm planning on layering the petals from the bottom up. One of them already broke off

# data[].attributes.body
Finished up the background. I'll cut the edges to make them wavy later.

# data[].attributes.body
One piece to go...

# data[].attributes.body
This is the background. I have to add support to the back so that it will stay on the wall. (It's upside down right now)
