For artists observe I made a giant pair of lips out of lipstick. Although it is hard to tell I made each cut of the lips different and each piece has a different skin color. The skin color and inside of the mouth was colored using watercolors on a palling board. After the watercolor dried I used stippling to add shading to the mouth. To finish this piece off I hung it from a wooden rod by tan twine to match the skin. I learned a lot about lips in the process of making this piece. I got the general shape of lips from a picture of mine which I altered slightly to make it seem like 3 different pairs. I wanted to tell a story with this piece about how something may look nice on the outside but on the inside they have an ugly soul or heart.
