Sculpture Progress Post

My sculpture consists of a wooden stem, with a plaster base, and clay top with twine and beads framing the topper. By far, carving the wood took the longest amount of time. Here is the process I took to create the sculpture:

12/17/24: Started my sculpture, I experimented with possible toppers and worked on refining my stem(start vs end of the day)

12/19/24: Worked on further refining the shape of the stem

1/14/25: Finished my topper for the sculpture and made the stem thinner

12/16/25: Worked on adding texture to the stem with a Dremel and cast the sculpture's base in plaster, I also decided to flip the stem

1/28/25: Sculpture finished, added any last details and documented it
