Bronze Casting

So I finally got my bronze piece back. I have so much work to do on it before it's finished. Here are some pics of the whole process. Kinda funny! I know I am so dang hot in flannel and face masks! I do what I can. I am really excited about it! I really hope it turns out okay. The process was hard! I had to make a mold out of wax, which is not as easy as it may appear. Then it had to be attached to a base and dipped in slurry and covered in sand. I had to dip it probably 8 times. Crazy long because you had to wait 6 hours between each dip. Anyway, that's my sweet bronze casting story.

Kandinsky

Okay...so we all know his work, but I just keep coming back to it. His way with color and space and shape blows my mind. His compositions and craftsmanship are impeccable. Kandinsky is very good at making your eye move around the piece, his works are not focused on one thing usually. Love!!! I hope you find your own opinions about him and his work!

Julie Mehretu

Another artist I absolutely adore. She really knows how to work with color and line. She is such an inspiration and her process is so fantastic! I love the mylar and layered paper techniques. Her designs are so crisp and precise, but they carry a certain fluidity. I love it!!!

I'm in a magazine!

So I was recently published in a crafting mag, Bead Unique. I made a fantastic cuff and they loved it! People are going to be making this! I am so proud of myself. Seeing this really made my week!!! It makes me want to try and submit other projects to other magazines. If anyone has nay ideas please let me know!

Stone Sculpture Project

This is what I am working on in my sculpture class. It's taking me forever but I have a new appreciation for all stone sculptures!!
There is kind of a before and after thing. ;)
