Bottle 302 - Southwest Scenes

Date Added: October 1, 2005
This is a collection of 6 vials containing different clay sculptures of a southwestern theme. The bottles are in 2 different sizes and each have a half circle of light tan clay providing the background for the other sculptures. Inside the vials are items such as large pot and small pots. There is also an eagle feather suspended from a small handle, a skull of a long horn steer, a cactus, and an arrowhead. There are adobe bricks, tortillas, and other items. These are made by Tom Watson, an artist from Grand Junction, Co. They are made from polymer clay in different colors. They are made by inserting tiny pieces of clay and build them up from the inside.
