The mystery project pt. 7

Veins! I added string for all the veins and aortas (not sure if the heart has aortas but so be it).
I'll let this dry overnight to set well and then I'll prime it tomorrow and maybe begin the painting.

The mystery project pt. 6

Getting very close to finishing the main body...just put finishing surface touches on today. It should be ready to add the veins tomorrow, I'll add those with twine and raffia.

The mystery project pt. 5

I think it's time I divulge what this thing is (as if you couldn't guess by now, especially with today's pictures). It's a human heart. I got the idea from my sister. She saw an early picture of the piggy bank where it was just the round body upside down with the legs extended upward. "What is it, a heart?" Then a lightbulb went off in my head. This would be the next sculpture.
You can see it really taking shape today. i have a few more little arteries to finish then it will be refining all the rough edges.

Bit by bit, putting it together...

The mystery project pt. 3

A little more progress...

The mystery project pt. 2

I'm back at the house for a bit, mainly to enjoy the glorious early Fall weather. But I did have time to work on the paper maché project this week. It's really starting to take shape. If you still can't deduce what it is I'll let you know soon(ish) in a future post!
