365 Day 136

two and a half hours later...

Yep, I worked on these seven little guys for two and a half hours -- I didn't even realize it had been that long -- this is just the first layer so I can work on them and figure out what they are as I add more layers of plaster cloth.




They kinda sorta look like big chess pieces as they are drying on the wire grid...but I know they are not chess pieces.

Sitting here looking at the photograph I can really see the individual elements -- the little boxes, balls, paper tubes and wooden plaques. Hopefully they will look appreciably different when they are done.

365 Day 135

prep work -- taping

Wow -- I cleared the big studio table enough to be able to work again!














Today -- all day -- like from noon until now (6:15) -- was spent in plaster cloth guys preparation...namely, taping. There were paper tubes, little boxes, wooden plaques and two balls that all needed to be taped separately with masking tape, then joined together with masking tape.

There is a local call for art that these may work out for. The theme is for small(er) art and everything submitted must be 8"x8"x8" or less. I am not totally sure yet what they will turn out to be, but I know they will be plaster cloth. I am excited to find out as they reveal themselves.






I started out taping paper tubes, thinking I was making parts for the studio snake. That really l-o-n-g skinny tube was a donation from Juana --it will be used for a different project.

















This is the first potential plaster cloth guy from earlier today.
















This is all seven of them...waiting to tell me what or who they are when the plaster cloth starts going on.
