I did a sculpted self portrait that captured my essence but not my likeness; a laughing mermaid with wild hair leaped to mind. OK, I don't have a couple of her attributes but the wood was tough to slice through.
The head is made from clay and was fired at a low temperature. The hair is crinkly wire with shells and sea glass trinkets.
The body was made from driftwood which was cut, carved, and painted. She has a charm bracelet since collect charms from the places we travel to.
The tail is covered with scales made from the inside of pop cans.
