SCULPTURE - clay with a painted patina

"Waste Not"
( approximately 1 foot in length )
 
Medium:  SCULPTURE  - CLAY FIRED IN A KILN AND THEN APPLIED AN ACRYLIC PATINA.
 
This 3d work was inspired by an experience I had at the city park;
a squirrel would appear out of nowhere, run into the open area, stop suddenly, and then perform a perfect backward flip and land on his back legs.  
Crazy, yet he would keep repeating this act many times, almost like he was preforming for a handout, or as I gathered, he was buzzing with energy from all the junk food scraps littering the park.  Hence, the coffee cups, chocolate bars, and pop bottles throughout.  One in a series of 3 clay sclulpters.   
Would be nice to start forge some in bronze work someday.
