for everyone

Clay, wax, plaster, soft wood, whichever one is around when I have the mood and time, will turn into whatever crazy idea I have then; Arumbayan broken-ear idol from Tintin, dinosaurs, skulls, etc.

This one for example. I found a box of toy wax lying around, right when I remembered about an ad I read years ago in Singapore and an article about a pickled-dragon hoax. The ad was for alien-themed toys, and the hoax was about a dragon preserved in a jar. So i thought, "Why not making an alien in a jar?"

So here it is. I spent 15 minutes of my break to make it. As usual, I was too lazy to finish it. I haven't even spend the time to think of what liquid to pour into the jar. It should give the impression of formalin or any other liquid preservative, without the ability to ruin the wax. I was thinking of using a yellow-colored mouthwash, but I haven't had the chance to test its effect against wax.
