indian sculpture

[birdpointgriswold]

Hey guys I know a lot of you are from all over the country...well I'm an artist and I'm working on a mosaic style sculpture of an indian head. I'm using just chips and flakes I have picked up over the years. But I would love to add different material that can't be found from where I'm from. Would any of you be willing to send me some material from where you are from? I'm looking small pieces from the size of a dime to a 50 cent piece. I would gladly pay for shipping. Even if its just a few pieces, I would really like some colorful stuff. Let me know if you can! Thanks!

Its actually hydrolic concrete! Had to work super fast with it at first I could just scrape into shape after about 2 hours It got pretty hard, had to start chiseling away....yes I know "that's what she said" ha

sorry ive been lazy about this ill get some reds and yellows out to ya sometime this week don't know if i got much yellow though so ill throw in some blues too just in case you want your indian to have a black eye. need black i got plenty of that? My wife took art education at college and is a good sculpter painter but she stays too busy with her work as a seamstress. I'm building a cobb oven outside in my "outdoor cooking arena" (i love cooking with fire) and was wanting to incorporate a bust of some sort on top thought about copying something from ancient ruins, anyway im getting the base finished within next couple days and was hoping to get my wife involved in some decorative aspects of it ill send you a pic when its done. my artistic abilities go about as far as stick people. Although i can draw a nice womens figure out of the word boy.
