Weirdo Spun Cotton Monster

It’s been a while guys, this is the first non-wip item I made this year. :woman_shrugging::woman_facepalming:

I skimmed through this tutorial to figure out the process https://youtu.be/fKPNFu_mb4k

I built the base with paper, Masking tape, chip board, and wire. Plastered on cotton ball fluff with watered down glue. I added a layer of gesso for my own sanity. Painted. Ta-dah!
