Amphisbaena is a really interesting creature. It is a two headed, ant-eating snake with feathered wings. One head is at the front and the other acts as its tail. It is said that its eyes glow like candle light.
It is believed that the Amphisbaena was born from the blood drops of Medusa's decapitated head. This drew my attention not only because it is an unusual method of birth but also because I have already sculpted Medusa and I like the idea of doing a sculpture that links to a previous sculpture.
Another interesting point about the Amphisbaena is its method of traveling. It grasps its one head in the other head's mouth and rolls around like a wheel.
(more coming soon, first sculpting Hylonome)
