Back at it

Well it doesn’t exactly fall in the “Art making” category but this model horse skeleton is reference material for a piece that I want to do in the not so distant future. Therefore I decided (after years…it was initially inspiration/reference for another sculpture I made) to finally put it together. This was no small feat. I am not a patient person and while this model kit had all the indications that it wanted to go together in a certain way, it did not cooperate as I thought it might. So instead of the relaxing my way back into making something that I thought I was doing, it was more of a “cursing like a sailor and accidentally gluing things to myself situation”.

With much more glue than necessary I got it almost entirely together, after which it almost immediately fell over and broke apart again. SO I’ve dedicated most of the rest of my day to doing things around the house like organizing skulls that were a gift from a friend of ours and making a way for plumbers come through and fix spaces which have not been used since we moved in years ago.

Friday things

This week has me running here to there. Here are a few bits of my day:

Very delicious veggie hotdogs that I made for Paul and I today, titled “Japanese Egg Dog”

A sculpture that I started, but it dried out so I had to change gears…I lopped off its head and got in some texture. I’m excited to see what happens next. I have an idea, but we’ll see.

This one will not leave me alone today. I love her completely but she only wants me to pet her when I am at the computer… Sometimes! (her name…but also her nature.)

Frantically trying to fit in the last two episodes of Amaya Gurpide’s "The Narrative Language in Drawing” course before the 1st. It has been such a great course and I am excited to try out some of the things she has talked about.
