As you can see, I'm kicking off the new year with something a little different. Despite what the title might suggest, this piece really isn't that big... (it's maybe 10 inches tall) but it is quite a bit larger than the effigy pieces I normally make. I've still got some tweaking to do, but I like the overall look of it, and the elongated form. I'm sure I will be making more of these; there seems to be quite a bit of room for exploration there. It was enjoyable to make. I started it Wednesday evening with the lower torso (the legs and hips) and let that rest overnight to firm up a bit, and then last night I finished it. Most of it was built from the ground up, using slab coiling. I could see going even bigger with these... 12 inches tall or more. Heck, I'm thinking that maybe a 6 foot Moai like that would look pretty cool standing in our front yard! I'm almost sure Pam would go for it. Right?
