~Sculpted textures and unusual methods.~
Using some of my black bear fur to recreate a fox chin. Included some detail shots of the tearing/stretchy flesh effect on the sides of the mouth (I’m spending a lot of time on these areas).

It’s almost finished!!!
Blending fox pelt with scrap skunk hide
Next comes ears, lower jaw fur, and curling the whiskers!
Hard to believe this was just a lowly, tattered, discarded fox fur “scrap”; virtually EVERYTHING here has been sculpted to work around the damage and bring the face back-to-life. The nose, jaws, skull/head, eyes, tongue, and of course teeth were all sculpted with special polymer and epoxy clay then painted with acrylics …*whew*!
Here’s some humble beginning shots…
Titled “In Death there is My Life” (large banner on vulture reads “In morte vita est mea” which is classical Latin for the piece’s title.)
Measures approx 24″x12″x7”, material list: Polymer/Epoxy clay sculpt, glass eyes, metal skeleton, charred wood base, rooster feathers.
Makes it’s debut Oct 20th at Gallery 423 West in Los Angeles, Ca.
