Last time I blogged, I talked about making a book cover based on antique handbags with alligator heads on them. So without further ado, let's get stuck into that all-important dried head. Here it is, all finished and waiting to be painted.
I started with a vaguely head-shaped lump of paper pulp. Because the details get built up in layers, it wasn't especially important to have the shape absolutely right in the beginning.
From there, I built up nostrils, eyes, scales and spines.
This'll take quite a while to dry - possibly a couple of days - so in the meantime I'll do something different in my next post.
