So big stress all this week, flying back and forth between getting work made, fired and having to model and distress for my sisters Beauty Therapy exams.
All I had to do was run down the street trying to make a tayto sandwich while power walking, stopping to buy nuerofin express 400mg even though your not allowed, taking one, then struggling to swallow it because it's like choking on a golf ball ... sorry this is very extreme ,but ever so true my friend
Anyways it all worked out in the end, I got my massages to distress and got my work completed. It was worth it!
I began under glazing my cubes; I used certain colours, numbers and letters.
Colours: I uses a range of colours, purple, greens, blues, yellow, and the red was'nt great and tried to make one as close to red but its more of an orangey brownie red colour! The colours where based on the theme of the cube e.g Christmas cards, I used green, red, white and a creamy white as this are associated with Christmas
Numbers: There are 6 cubes; each number is ranging from 2 to 7. The number is reference to my age of that particular event e.g 2 is linked to my first big holiday to the Isle of Man
Letters: The letter is then reference to the event beginning with a certain letter e.g B is linked to the Easter cards I made when I was a child
Glazing my cubes
Some cubes using purple, yellow and green glaze for the different themes
These are images from childhood while playing about. These are reference for one cube, p- 4, playing aged 4 and two images
I also learned another new technique which allows the letters, numbers and borders to become raised slightly by using a product called shellac.
It is applied to the area, it is then left to dry.
Once it is dry, use a wet sponge and wet back the soft clay whcih means peeling back a layer of clay while leaving the parts with shellac on to become raised.
Youy can see from the side that the brown areas which have shellac on them are slight raised.
