Description
I'll be uploading 3 pics of it...just too many photos. XDMy life sized gourd baby elephant is totally sculpted now!
Here's my supply tally:
Around 40 pounds of air drying clay
Two bottles of super glue (fixing cracks)
Pair of glass eyes
Sheets of wire mesh for the ears (and screws to put them in place)
23 gourds
6 rolls of masking tape
about 100 full sheets of blank newsprint (body bulking)
Epoxy adhesives for the gourds and 3 dowel rods for internal support
Wire to attach jaw
And my new cat approves. Yeah, another new cat...she just kinda showed up. My kitty now <3
