Flamenco Pastillage Sculpture

There were three challenges. Either redo one of two already designed pieces, or create an original Music themed showpiece. I based it off of this image.













I wanted to reach into my spanish origins and do a Flamenco themed piece. The woman is made out of pastillage, as well as her guitar. Her face is hand painted, and her dress was airbrushed. Her hairband, fan, dress, clackers and flowers are made out of Isomalt. I learned a very good lesson in the drying time of pastillage and proper structure, because she danced for just enough to be judged and then she was finished. She will always be remembered. :b
