Sculpture/Ceremics
I decided to make a skull out of paper mache for this project, and turn it into a wearable mask. Though, unfortunately I lost the time to finish it, it will get done on my one time sometimes in the future. I started the mask by using a doctor mask as a mold for the underneath of the mask, and were my face will connect. I shaped some wire to the shape I wanted for the skull and hot glued it to my paper mache base. The mask definitely started to take shape and alot of progress was made. I placed the eyes slightly higher up than originally placed to accomodate for the placement of the eye sockets of the skull. After some more layers and some tin foil antlers and teeth, the mask will be nearly done. All i would need to do is paint and add a strap to make it wearable.

Here is my finished pitfire piece. You can see lots of dark greys and some red showing on top of the green. It's super shiney and polished looking and the only hard part about it was making the shape on the wheel and taking the time to burnish it. I'm not sure what I'll use it for other then a decoration but maybe it'll end up useful.
Here is a picture i found that helped me make my designs, and two of the three trace papers i used (i lost the other one, along with the in progress pictures i took). Here I have my final sgraffito piece. I took the reference picture and put a similar design in the middle, and broke it up from moon and sun on either side. I chose a dark blue for nightm and a pinkish purple for the day. I mixed the who a bit for the middle tile and made a slight gradient to make the piece flow together. I did a small simple design around the edges, along with breaking off little chunks around the edges to give an older, even sacred look. The hardest part was probably getting the lines to go where I wanted them to. It was super easy to transfer the drawings and paint the tiles.
