Clay Head With Sun Sunglasses

This chap isn't exactly exuding joy and contentment but maybe he's just having a bad day!  But wait.  Since he's made of dried clay, are they all bad days?!?  That's where you come in!  You'll always have someone to comfort and when you're needing someone to agree with you that something's not a good idea, then here's your man!  But other than that, the piece looks cool.  The orange, sun sunglasses look great over the white clay.  His head is a nice shape and it contains more interesting and engaging shapes that you can (GENTLY!) touch. And he has an intense expression you'll perhaps keep coming back to!

This chap and his wood background is 30 x 40 cm / 12 x 15.75," acrylic and dried clay on wood.  And plastic, kids sunglasses!  Before attaching him, the wood was painted with an acrylic background.  The figures are attached to the wood with a strong mounting glue/cement that's rated to handle 300kg/m2 of pressure (see photo).  

He's made of hobby clay (see photos) and air dried for a minimum of five days.   He's coated with two coats of matte, floor glue, which is somewhat like a clear shellac which creates a bit of a sheen but also keeps things together a bit better and adds a slight layer of protection. 

Since the figure is dried clay and not fired ceramic, it's more delicate.  It can't get really wet and it can more easily chip or crack if something hits them.  For this reason I will not be held responsible or offer a refund if any of the figure is damaged or falls off, etc. in the future.  I've done the maximum to ensure that the piece hangs securely and that the head is attached securely.  But if something knocks into it or it gets wet, I can't guarantee that this delicate figure could withstand any sort of shock to them.

The piece is not that large or heavy but the purchaser is highly encouraged to hang it on either a wood stud behind the wall with a long, thick nail or drilling holes in concrete and inserting a plastic anchor before inserting the screw.

Prints are from a fine photo of the piece.
