i really like it.
what are the materials? what was the process like?

[a_synaesthesis]

WELL its mostly wood. i used this tool that is like an "ice cream scooper for wood". that is how it was first described to me. it was awesome. i used it so much that my muscles were sore. and i made the teeth by pushing things into clay and then pouring plaster into the indentations. the stand it just some scrap metal i bent up and welded together.

the wood eating tool was my favorite part process-wise. sore muscles are good to have.

its supposed to be a chewed up vessel that noticable took a lot of time and effort to form which then holds something that will be thrown out and left behind easily

etc

something that only really mattered to one person to begin with. all that work hubbie. to carry something that will be gone. that only matters to you.
