Description
A few months ago, *Hyperstar90 and I decided to trade some art. She drew and colored me a customized gryphon (which completely rocks the fantasy world, and I'll be putting him in my shoutboard), and asked me for something "creative" in return. I hope this fits the bill. *Nervous.*

This sculpture stands about 30 cm high, and represents how creatures of the Earth exist in certain phases of trying to exit the gravity well. One side has the natural world (people, mountains, clouds, northern lights, stars, galaxy, etc.) and the other side has the technologies we employ at corresponding levels (wheel, hot air balloon, plane, shuttle, rocket, space station, etc.). I threw in three gas giants just for fun. Sorry for the horrible pictures.

This sculpture used:
Three cardboard ornament balls
Six colors of oil paint
~45 cm of wire mesh
0.4 boxes of SuperSculpey
12 colors of acrylic paint
Elmer's Glue
Rubber Cement
Vinyl Flooring Glue
