Since making my "Creature" sculpture, I knew I wanted to make another
one along the same lines. This one began with the roughly triangular stone for
the head and the idea to use a tagua nut for bulging eyes. The rest of it came
together as I worked on it and rummaged through my materials for inspiration.
It's a challenge to make a sculpture with so many little pieces, because you
don't see it all together until the very end.
