Leonardo's Last Supper

Paper mache, PVA glue, pasta and acrylic. The Palmerston North Library had a competition to make a head for a mannekin in a display of Leonardo da Vinci's studio. To meet the deadline, I had to use a blow dryer and set the head next to a gas heater. Spaghetti and vermicelli was glued on to form his hair. the heater baked the pasta onto the head. It was one of the top 3 heads. First place went to the one that fit the mannekin best and mine tied for second place.
