Grandma's Babushka - Grandma always used a simple method to cover her head when she went outside and didn't want her hair to get messed up, like getting blown around in the wind. She tied a scarf or big handkerchief over her head. Sometimes she just did that when it was the days between getting her hair washed and done up. I always thought babushka was a funny word. Polish and Russian women wore them all the time.
The hanger on the back makes it easy to hang on a building tree or inside your home or office wherever she gives you inspiration.
Every concrete face is hand sculpted by Barbara Liss in the Montana Bliss Artworks studio. After the sculpting is complete, the piece is wrapped to slow cure for up to 30 days to prevent cracking. Midway through the cure process the piece is unwrapped to finish the edges and surface. Then it is wrapped again to finish the cure process.
When the cure is finished the hanger is added which takes 2 days for glue to properly cure to hold the wait of the piece. It is then photographed to be presented to you.
