Head Piece Inspired by Bonsai Tree

From the Bonsai tree that I drew in the previous post, here is what I designed inspired by it.  I don't exactly know why, but I had this feeling that I really wanted to create a headpiece.  I then listed off keywords that I felt described the Bonsai tree; reaching, pulling, scratch, rough, painful, etc.  After getting the words out, I couldn't get the image of a hand grabbing a girl by the head and yanking back, causing her head to pop off!  The idea of a torture device or someone being tortured seemed appropriate.  The head piece is inspired by these ideas and I was proposing to making it out of aluminum with a luster of copper to give it that old rusted look.  I don't know if these materials would be the right ones to use, but then again, I am only a freshman again and I've never done this before so I shouldn't beat myself up for it if I am wrong!

I am also just starting out with water colors and so far I've really loved using them!  I'm super excited to start learning more and doing more with them!
