6 Painting Series

Currently trying to finish the other 3 of my series, but I'm having a hard time. I don't think I'm all together, like there THERE... it's like I'm absent in my own work. (is it the meds?) I don't even know how to read that, internally.



Mo read the tarot cards for me today and I get the idea that my dead plants are a good idea? @_@

Thursday was the Senior Thesis show and I am so proud of everyone there. I couldn't help but feel competitive and a little pressured about doing something great during my up coming thesis. Those were people from my semester, 2 blocks that I was bonding with and I want to produce something that's going to match their caliber. Professor Dillin told me to start thinking and or start working on it now as I might need it, because I work slow towards perfection. It really made me think, and the show gave me a reality check to the atmosphere that I was creating for.

Maria's scale...
Kat's waving/crocheting/and knitting skills(?)
Vika's WOW effect.. in some greusome ways
Marcin's subtlety in the little relief faces he made.
Hiedi's haunting birds...and decomposing figures.
and Inna, being the only work forcing us to look up lolz

I got my work cut out for me as I don't know to paint or sculpt yet.

Plaster....the mother Mold!

Rule of thumb, don't mix nothing else into the batch once it's been mixed.

...Me...plaster panic.... added cold water cause it was curing faster than I can work. So yeah... it went bad and I had to redo one side of my mold.

My second side was good and my redo was better. I just hope I didn't already do some un-foreseen damage :/ I did squeeze out all the water in the burlap before reusing.

Waiting on further instructions before I continue to finish the mother mold, so I can cast during next class. ^.^ I'm excited! Almost done!!!

In the mean time, I think it's just some filing and smoothing to make it look pretty on the outside. :) I got two more sides to plaster before casting.

(Worked from 6:30-9:30pm tonight)
