Tiki Lantern Build -March tiki show at Clash
I started with a dumpy little sketch of a tiki, based on some New Guinea carvings.
I roll out a large slab of clay and wrap it around my form for my basic shape. (there are 2 coffee cans stacked and taped together then wrapped in newspaper inside the giant tampon shape)
I painfully slide it off the form...for like, 15 minutes. Then I cut out my basic lantern parts, like, the back so you can put a candle in...and cut out basic eye and mouth holes. (watch it collapse when I fire it...)
Then add shapes and "tattoo" elements...Still in process though!
