dayton is not in ohio

Here’s a turkey leg I made for a demonstration today in the class I TA for. I don’t make much in this vein, so it was fun and turned out surprisingly well. Sorry for another bad camera-phone shot. I sewed a waste mold from plastic sheeting for the main shape, and cast it in plaster. Then I carved it a bit, made the “shake n bake” coating from beeswax and sawdust, and stained the bone with old coffee. Yummeee. One of my students said that it appeared to be coated in vomit. That’s a freshman for you.
