Gourd Sculpted 17 Year Cicada

Description

And here is another Cicada, this time the hardly seen 17 year Cicada! They only emerge from their underground slumber every 17 years.

This is a handmade, one-of-a-kind gourd sculpture. This cicada is made from two "egg" gourds that form the body. I then use wire and clay to sculpt every segment, shape, and texture. The legs are spiked (and sharp too!), and even the belly is detailed! This cicada is complete with wire antennae and hand painted acrylic wings. The veins have been painted on and a wavy texture was applied to resemble a REAL cicada! This one is painted deep black/blue and bright orange in the fashion of the 17 year cicada. This original sculpture is signed, dated, and numbered. It's 7.5" long.

He was part of my batch of 13 realistically sculpted gourd beetles. They're all for sale in my online shop, in the "Fine Art Gourd Sculpture" category. ALL of my available sculptures and original paintings are also in my shop. Link below>>>
