The Kitchen Prophet

(If you left click on the photo, you can see it larger)
A green bottle filled with Basil is the base of this altered bottle--
that is supposed have the theme "Kitchen"and in the process of
searching for items to use, it evolved into
The Kitchen Prophet.
The head is an old brass bedstead part, the vintage
peeler says Real A Peel---from my small collection
of kitchen items..the crown was cut from a
yogurt container, The Sculpey hands and heads I made
several years ago in a flurry of head makings for jewelry.
Then there's the beaded hair, old buttons, trim around the
neck and the spider HAD to be part of this
alteration as he advises the Prophet in
in matters of Epicurean feast preparations.
----------------
I find I would rather work on assemblages
that are wired, nailed and screwed together,
rather then depend on glues to keep it sturdy.
I can't stand to wait for it to dry before I can
continue and boy, do sticky fingers frustrate me.
****************
Coming soon--exciting new things on this blog for
your enjoyment...videos---games etc.

What are the little faces/heads to the left side? Interesting angle to the piece. Very cute and clever. Good job.

Good mind think alike. I loved the spider on the crown. Kind of sends a message about the love of cooking...deadly!

Very cool...I like!

Lady Ann....
My thinking was.....

3 extra heads are better than just one and they were part of my Sculpey cache, so why not use them ?.....

I am guessing this is a class you are in. Looks like a fun assignment. Even funner to see what all the others came up with. Just standing in the kitchen looking around to see what is available to "build" with. Very well done....Kimba

this has a totemic quality, truly animistic! This prophet is aware of more than recipes!....

This is such a COOL, piece! You should see it in person as I did - we are all working on our goodies but as usual Winna has us all beat!
See you soon.
