I'm doing a clay model of the seven deadly sins, and I'm going to make one body; each body part will represent one of the sins. Like, ill use a sloth's arm for Sloth, a pig's body for Gluttony, probably a man's head for Lust (Man is the most lustful creature I can think of) and so on. I'm having problems with Envy, Greed, Wrath, and Pride. Any suggestions? Can you think of any creatures that would coincide with one of these sins?

This is a really lofty goal that you have here! Quite a project!

How about a two-headed creature and having both a man and a woman's head represented for lust?

By "body" are you meaning this work to look something like a human? Or, do you mean it to be a body in terms of art and can become whatever form it becomes in order to be a "body?" You may need to make it a "body" in the art sense in order to make this thing work.

Just some ideas for you.

The body doesn't necessarily have to look like a humans body... it can be anything really.

Thanks, I really like the head idea!

How about the body having two sloth like hands. One hand grabbing a money-pouch [ greed ]. The man head is staring at the woman head with its eyes almost popping out like @_@ [ lust ] but the cunning woman head stares at the mony-pouch [ envy ]. Perhaps the other sloth hand can hold a wepon of mass destruction [wrath].

Can you use any objects in this work other than the clay itself in order to help represent the seven deadly sins?

Yes, I could. Do you have ideas?

And what about pride??

You could do the one for envy green.. green with envy, the one for pride holding a mirror or shaped like a mirror.

The head is pride. Lust is in the heart. Wrath is the power of hands and arms. Greed is the mouth (that's where all the bad things go). Envy is the opposite side of pride, the back of the head. Gluttony is the buttocks and sloth is a pot belly. Thank God that indecision isn't a deadly sin.
