Hammerhead, or the virtue of being stubborn

I wish I could tell you that I sketched out the lovely profile of Ms Hammerhead and carefully sculpted her exactly as I dreamed her.

I was in the early stages of creating a tiny head and bust by hand for a new sparkle globe and decided I had a bit much too much clay, and began to pinch it off.
And caught myself as the pinched part began to look distinctly like a hammer. I’ve seen people with similar hairstyles, yet never made the connection before: Hammerhead.
Oh, there are hammerhead sharks, and hammerhead people who don’t take “no” for an answer and haven’t time to listen to contradictions from people they consider silly. They tell it like it is, and they stick to their convictions. They are sure and confident and focused. Like Ms Hammerhead here: she advises that you take her seriously. Please do.

Hammerhead, one of a kind clay sculpture with vintage dollhouse tool hammer earrings inside a one of a kind snow globe, featuring glimmering gold flecks and a single tiny gavel-shaped vinyl hammer in liquid (not shown, but we assure you it’s there when shaken.) The wooden base is painted with a faux metallic finish and topped with tiny finishing nails, driving home Hammerhead’s point.
