Waiting to bisque

I put together some pieces of clay, and then modeled a head, then added more clay, and this is the result.

At least having been created.

The inspiration was a willow tree in the wind. I'm really disappointed in the actual sculpture. I was picking it up to throw it in the trash when someone said they really liked and admired it. OK, so maybe it says something to a viewer. Maybe not what I started with. I know it's taking forever to get it bisqued, because it's very fragile and tall. The studio manager prefers mugs to load, can you blame him?
