Art Break! - Roman Pottery Face

A little while ago, PB, F, D, and I went to the Saalburg to see the Roman Fort and artifacts.
While there we saw these pots with faces on them.



Apparently the idea was the faces would scare off bad spirits and keep the food inside fresh for longer.

I thought this was kind of cute, so lets make a little buddy for the fridge!

We start with some paper in a colour that matches the fridge door.



I cut out a base square.




I curled some spirals for eyes.


With cat hair!

The eyebrows I cut out then folded up in an accordion like fashion to add lines.



I put these on wonky because a lot of the pottery faces had wonky features.

The lips I folded out of two pointed ovals.



The nose was a pyramid.



And two thin strips were curled for ears.
Done!

Now guard my food!
