A modern 3-D printed statue of Henry VI is soon going to grace the streets of Coventry. The original, made in the 1500’s, is housed in the Herbert Art Gallery. The local council wanted to use the Tudor era statue in the rebuild of Coventry Cross but it was deemed too fragile to withstand outdoor weather, hence an exact copy was decided upon instead. The cross and statue should be in place…
I've just finished making these ancient Roman inspired "laurel wreath" crowns out of jewel beetle shells and preserved 17 year cicada wings. I've done three of the jewel beetle ones, so one is in my Etsy (link in bio), the cicada wing one is one of a kind so far so I haven't listed it yet. I'm really happy with how these came out!
