Historical technique
For my historical technique I chose to use clay. I really like working with clay, I can fully control the material and manipulate it the way I need.
For my first example I made the ears.First I made each ear individually, later I composed them on a piece of wood. I wanted to make some kind of freaky 3D painting. Afterwards I sprayed them 3 times with this color. As finishing touch I used varnish.
Secondly I made the head with the frog coming out. My approach for this object was different. I didn't want to use a lot of clay, because it wouldn't dry as quick and the result would be really heavy. Therefore I used a base of styrofoam. I cut the styrofoam to the shape (head) I wanted en then build the clay on top of that. For the strings coming out of the head I used skewers with several tiny layers of clay. The clay dries up in a grey tone, I sprayed it clear white. They again I used the varnish.
The reason I liked the varnish is because it makes the clay object look less like clay.
