Cement Snail!

This summer I wanted to show some folks that a cement sculpture could, in fact, be made from start to finish in 5 days or less.  

Here is the result:


I admit that this guy isn't 100% complete (I want to extend the mosaics down to where the shell ends) BUT it only took me approximately 5-6 hours over the course of 5 days (so ~1 hr/day) to get this far. I'm confident that if I weren't teaching other things at the same time as I was working on this, I'd have finished this guy AND made another 1 or 2 sculptures.
