Description
Feste the Mad was not originally my favorite of these first three in my new series I'm calling the Gourd Lords, but he has ended up being so... He is meant to be the Trickster, the Jester, a bit of the Fool- but don't be too fooled...he isn't stupid, merely mad as March Hare...there is wisdom to be had if you find in all his trickery.
Feste the Mad- like all the others in the Gourd Lord series- is made from a REAL gourd upon which I sculpted/modeled the facial features with an epoxy clay. In Feste's case, the handle is also real. I then base coated them them with a white and went over them in payers of acrylic washes to to achieve their original real color schemes- they tend to loose all the color after drying and can even get mold spots and the like...

Very expressive, fascinating method of production too. Since its he's made from a real gourd will he decay do you think, if so it would be interesting to take photographs of him in the various stages.
