Heat of Dixie began with a piece of debris which I have handled dozens of times, waiting to find a place for it. I am not sure what this is, that forms the body of the figure; a knife case perhaps? It is badly damaged, and held together by several coatings of a medium. I rested it upon a purchased metal cross and sandwiched in between is an Alabama license plate. The face and "crown" are of polymer clay. SOLD 7/08
