I thought it would be a good idea to make a whirlwind/ whirlpool effect. I wanted something violent with petrified creatures in it. But, on second thought, why not something that looks really cute. So, this is created.
I started by making the "whirlwind/pool" simply by coiling snake clay. Then, I got the head going.
Since I wanted the creature to look like its part of the whole thing, I decided to just make the "exposed" part.
Added a few more details, baked and I glazed this with a glitter nail polish. Why nail polish? Cause its cheap, fast and very accessible!
