24"x18"x18" Polymer clay,Apoxy Sculpt, wire, glass beads, glitter. Free standing sculpture- with marionette parts- his arms move with strings pulled from the top.
Inspiration- This summer the reading program at the Libraries here in the Twin Cities is going on the theme of "Book-a-wokie" and our Polymer Clay Guild has a display case in the North Regional Library so I was super excited to create something a long the line of Alice in Wonderland. There are so many great directions to go but I was very drawn to the fanciful caterpillar. I started by building the mushroom which by the way has a bug on an built in patio on the back. Then I made the caterpillar part by part getting more and more ideas and details as I went. Each section of the caterpillar is like one of those hollow Easter Eggs with a little scene from the story inside.
