This is a wooden box onto which I sculpted a likeness of Esteban, my pet snail. I applied pulp to the lid, sculpted it, then allowed it to dry. Once it dried, I sanded it to get a very smooth surface. Finished with acrylic and matte sealant.

Lol- nope, he wouldn't sit still long enough. I could barely capture his likeness!
