Description The cultural inspiration is Mesoamerican in nature. When I have trouble sleeping, my artistic mind gives me waking visions some times (evidently to keep me entertained), and this guy popped up behind my eyelids. The feathers are representative of respendant quetzal feathers, beautiful sacred birds that they were to those cultures. I researched these further and gave the mask my own spin on a death mask.

8 hours, Super Sculpey, Jacquard pearls and um, some kind of liquitex varnish.

Thank you To tell you the truth I got the idea from a vision I saw when in one of my, um, moods. Something like this flashed in my inner vision, so I sketched it, then made a polymer clay version of it.

Thank you for the links, very similar styles and thoughts in mind when I created this and fires the imagination for more in the future.

So much art to make, so little time...
