This steampunk piggie started life as a paper mache pig which I then painted to resemble old leather.  I added some gears and cogs and created the goggles out of Sculpey clay which I baked around a tin foil form and then painted.  The base was supplied by my sister-in-law Judy.  It is a really cool looking weather vane.  I’m still trying to decide if he needs a hat and if so what kind.  The ears are kind of problematic in making a good fitting hat.  He may be done….I am gonna look at him for a few days and then decide.

Especially for someone who is beginning a hard journey tonight.  May it be as painless as possible and may there be fishing at the end of it all.
