A Bust of Sir Arminius Oliphant

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! I am
proud to present: a bust of the highly esteemed imaginary scholar, the accomplished Sir Oliphant!
Now that we've finished the pleasantries,
you may be asking yourself,"Who is this
Sir Oliphant?". Please do not trouble yourselves
with these questions. He is nothing but a figment
of my imagination.
Now that we have that cleared up, you may be wondering how I made the bust. That is what I
will tell you now.
to start, at the center of Sir Oliphant's head is a wooden rod about five inches long. Around that is
a rather thick layer of paper towel bound with
masking tape in the general shape of a human head.
After I accomplished this, I simply wrapped clay
around it in a way that it still looked like a head.
The first actual feature I formed was the nose.
Accordingly, the nose is a prominent feature in
Sir Oliphant's face. The rest was simple enough,
except for the hair, which, as hard as I tried,
would not be made in one piece.
