I have finished sculpting and painting 7 out of the 8 crops Monsanto sells as a genetically modified seed. The Sorghum is the last one to do and I should be done with it tomorrow. All I have left is to seal up the jars real good so water can not get in and drill the holes on the wooden shelf I built to tie the jars to it with twine. This is the frightening part since this piece will be outside for four months but I am excited for the challenge because I have never made artwork for outside before.

Sculpting 8 GMO Crops
I have been sculpting a ton to get 8 Monsanto Seeds finished! Above is the sculpted soybeans in there tiny glass jar.
So far I have completed the soybeans, wheat, canola, and cotton. The armatures were made out of thin wire. I needed to make sure no part of them was touching anything since they will be viewed from all around and can not have any flat spots.
Wheat!
Cotton! I will glue in the cotton once it dries.
Canola!
I hope to finish the last four crops today. Those include corn, alfalfa, sorghum and sugarbeets.
