WIP Royo inspired gift

2010-01-07T00:26:00.001-08:00

I made this as a gift for a big Luis Royo fan.
This piece is heavy inspired by Evolution from Luis Royo.
I took some characteristic elements from Royo and wove them into my own work with this result.
This piece is made from MDF (base), apoxie (screwheads and monsterhead), polymer clay (face), Tibetan lamb hair and painted with rust paint and acrylics.
Total piece is 16 cm long x 11 cm width ( 6.3 inch x 4.3 inch).
I so hope the new owner will like it.

Stay With Me.

*
If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don't think I'll understand

Stay with me

In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me
There can be no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more

Stay with me

You'd better hope and pray
That you make it safe
Back to your own world
You'd better hope and pray
That you'll wake one day
In your own world
Coz when you sleep at night
They don't hear your cries
In your own world
Only time will tell
If you can break the spell
Back in your own world

Stay with me

She's finished and on her way to the sweet lady in America who adopted her.
