Major Tom by Betsy Youngquist

 
13x5x7
 
"Major Tom" thinks he's an astronaut and I'm not going to tell him otherwise. Recently Tom had some "fur" added to his cheeks just for fun. This furry fellow is sweet and friendly. M. Tom is a one of a kind sculpture encrusted with glass beads, glass vintage jewelry components, old porcelain dental samples, shell, natural turquoise, antique porcelain doll parts, and old prosthetic glass eyes. There are a couple of hairline stabilized fractures on Tom's face from his alleged travels through space. His belly is covered in beautiful spiny coral and natural turquoise. These materials were adhered using a mosaic process.
