Slowly getting there. Lips, tongue and teeth are polished and fused.  Foul language project WIP by Kainzer Kurt, on Flickr Still struggling with accepting my limitations working the size of the scorpion. Not happy with overall shape. Tail needs to change, and I hope that will give the creature instant recognition. Just to get an idea what size we are talking about.......  Foul language project WIP by Kainzer Kurt, on Flickr Its my own fault, pride does not agree with me getting magnifying visors yet,.... But cant put it off forever, I suppose. |

Kurt, I think it looks fabulous! Can't wait to see it completely finished.
Get the Optivisors. You'll be amazed at how much easier it will make it for you. I don't like having to wear them either, but hey, they work!

Look turns out more that of a maggot. Never mind, as long as it looks creepy in the end. Shape seems ok overall. Lets hope I can carry it beyond the sanding to the polish. While this creature has essentially a fixed place, I'm still waiting for a silver spider before committing individual pieces to their places.  Centepede added by Kainzer Kurt, on Flickr |

Is the creepy crawly moonstone? Nope, decided on using Australian opal. Mostly potch, but solid and easy to polish. |

I thought it was too flashy for Moonstone. Nice touch.

How realistic the lips and teeth are really adds to the icky factor.

After tinkering for nearly two months, put it finally together. Only thing left to do is make it wearable. FA bug, Dinobone scorpion, opal worm, jasper mouth, jade tongue and moonstone teeth, plus bought the silver spider.  ppfoul mouth one by Kainzer Kurt, on Flickr As a concept this is a piece that is open for interpretations. For me its about common acceptance of swearwords in use just about anywhere. AND the creatures, to me represent something a bit worse. Split tongue = lies, scorpion = words can/are often be pure poison, worm/centipede = general rot, Spider = fearsome to most, Bug = driving in decay. They stand for lies and deceit that we all have to deal with on daily basis. Maybe a title for this piece could be "Verbal Diarrhoea" or "Don't trust my words". |

Kurt! That is awesome! I had a feeling you might be going for something like that. To me it says Words Can Kill. I love the concept and the execution. Thank you so much for sharing your process, too. That's just amazing!

A piece from the heart, and ears. I was thinking similar while looking at the photo before reading your comments. I was thinking that one should be careful what they say, as they might have to eat their words. The words were the creatures.
This is an outstanding composition.
