I Need a Hand! Or Maybe a Nose?

For our digital cameo project I began work for this project by recreating the brooch backing that Arthur had given us. 

Then I started thinking about traditional cameos and then scrapped that idea instead I wanted something that I had never seen before. 

I did a few sketches of different ways I view myself and what a real "selfie" would be for me. I thought a lot about my hands and how they tell more about myself and my life than a traditional selfie would. I was thinking a lot about how scattered I can be when I'm working. Often times I could use another arm to help me out but unfortunately I have yet to figure out how to grow one. 

I attempted to sculpt my arm and hand in Sculptris. One file turned out better than the other. You can probably tell which one was made first.

I also thought a lot about my glasses and how several of my friends in different departments don't know I have two pairs. They are so used to my beaten down "eyebrow" glasses that when I wear my larger frame ones they always ask if they are new. The funny thing about my glasses is that I hate wearing them and often leave them in weird places because of that. I thought about making my fingers as a brooch as a type of holder for them. I also thought about sculpting my nose to hold them. both would be interesting both with and without the glasses.
