Step 1: Frankenhorse!


Hello to you!

Enjoying my time building a model carousel horse. I believe it's close to scale, so perhaps it could become a real life-sized carousel animal! Well, maybe some day.

In the meantime, I do have quite a few plans for this little sculpture. One involving a lesson plan for art teaching.

Hopefully this experiment turns out successful. Right now the project is resembling Frankenstein's monster... (At this stage, that was kind of expected).
