We're keeping the images under wraps until the show so I can't post any here, to make sure we have the correct level of amazement, awe and flurry of buying activity that will no doubt occur when we finally do reveal them on opening night!
so to keep everyone happy, here's some OTHER new stuff I've been doing ...
Making an etching press !
It still needs a steel plate to stop it from destroying itself in excitement when I tighten it too hard and the top part cracks.
might work, might not, needs a drill bit attached to the winder so it can be raised and lowered (much) quicker
Hold your breath for fun little etchings of toy ducks in the not too distant future
Cutting a gas bottle in half to make a furnace, to melt metal, to fill the moulds I make from the small wax sculptures I posted earlier
and the thing next to it is ...
Making a baby kiln from the guts of a hair dryer . This is part of the mould to pour the refractory into to house the element
again, it might not work but it'll be fun to make
and ...
Playing with my new Kiln !
( outside, ofcourse )
but mostly painting, painting painting painting
