Maori Moko on life size clay masks danlovestikis Grand Member (8 years)   Joined: Jun 17, 2002 Posts: 3553 Posted: 2007-01-17 6:45 pm   Permalink Years ago I wanted to do an art project for the Sacramento Airport. I submitted and was rejected but it was fun anyway. I made 37 life size clay faces and painted them. I said they were passengers past present and future. Anyway the Moko I had on the Maoris always bothered me. I kept doing it over and over. Benzart said to stop trying to copy designs that have been used and just let the face guide me. So I invented my own MOKO. Here it is, does it work?
