Happening right now on Spudart: Press a leaf in an envelope with the date and story written on it until 2026-10-31
this reminds me of a Tim Burton character…
Yeah, it does kinda look like that skeleton from that halloween movie. huh. This was just a fun sculpture doode from a couple pinch pots. I wanted him to look crazy and… screwy.
You know what I’m going to say, right? I still want to buy this ;^”> I just saw that movie “Nightmare Before Christmas” … I suppose screwball does look a little like Jack the Pumpkin King.
I love it but i would have tried to find rusted hardware or treat the bought hardware somehow.
Brooke, that’s a very good point seeing that i used iron oxide on the clay, and iron oxide is eseentiallly rust. I should use a rusty screw for this guy.
I disagree. Part of what I love about “Screwball” is the contrast in materials. The new juxtaposed with the seemingly-old. I think it makes him look crazier and screwier, like he was made of parts and not born that way.
I like it… also reminds me of a Tim Burton style head…either that or some mix of a coconut head.
