Steampunk Needle sculpted Busts.

Steampunk celebrations in our town inspired me  to design a male head I had wanted to try, but didn't want to make the whole body, so I found the best stand for it - a drive shaft from an old car we once had, and a flange that just fitted the base, with a screw to hold it there, from my husbands spare parts in the garage.  Here it is in all it's dirty steel glory, just fitting for the job of a stand!

I made the female counterpart first, so she's a different colour, and mounted her on a ceramic candlestick. 

I had great fun putting these two pieces together, and painting the face!
