Beauchene Skull...

I have a new creation for you. This is just a sneak peak, I'm not done with it yet.

It's called a Beauchene Skull, sometimes also referred to as an Exploded Skull. I saw it on TV twice in one week on two totally unrelated shows and just new it was a sign that I had to make one :). It's just my meager attempt though...
I think most beauchene skulls are dis-articulated into 14-22 pieces, mine is only 9 pieces since it's so small. I made it in 1:12th scale. It's made from polymer clay and the stand is brass. I'm still working on the base, so maybe I'll have it out in a few days or a week.

---------------------------

On another note... Not much has been moving in my Etsy store and I've been feeling like my prices are too high lately. I want to make sure my items are affordable so I'm lowering prices. I am also offering free shipping until 04/01/2011. Just use coupon code DHMBD04012011 when you checkout. I hope that can make a few people out there happy :).


Thanks for following my blog!

    Thanks everyone, I had fun making it! It took me through a skull hollowing process that showed me that I may be able to make some more realistic full skulls in the future. Can't wait!

    Michelle, I kept procrastinating on those teeth, kept waiting for my muse to catch up with me. I guess it worked! Thanks! :)

    WOW!!! Amazing skull! You never cease to wow me with your miniature skills. I haven't seen a pic of you that I can recall, but I imagine your fingers must be comparable to tiny toothpicks! ;)
