Thought I'd share photo of my newest hypertufa creation for those who might want to give it a try. He's just out of the form and now soaking in his water bath:

I used aluminum foil, but don't like the placement of his nose. Double sided carpet tape might be good to stick the facial pieces inside the form in their place.
I hope to plant his eyes with small or miniature green hens -n- chicks, and his nose with ones that have a pink shade to them, and his mouth with ones that have red. Larger hens -n- chicks, plus maybe some baby tears or something like that for his hair. (Forgot about "ears".) Hope to get some more made and make one with a mohawk using a miniature Iris. Who knows what the finished product will look like. He may need groomed ocassionally.
