Mermaid's Purse

This is part of a series of mini sculptures I made for an art class. The sculptures are meant to "float" on a underwater sea picture I took for the project. One day I will upload all of the sculptures "floating" on the sea background.

Anyway the tentacles were made out of wax going around a barbie purse, then I electroformed it into copper. Electroforming is super plating, so instead of getting a thin layer of metal you leave the object in the bath for a few days so you get a thick outer shell of metal.

Thanks for looking!!!!
