Some Fun Things

Photos of yeast from a biology lab and some jewelry I made from excess copper wire during concentration piece six

Piece Six

For entry into a show

Process:
Weeks of thick gesso layering,
Recoat of white paint
Palette knife of trashcan-esque color scheme and background
gold and copper paint on the sides
Fine tip sharpie to outline gesso/white
Power tools (drill, saw) to cut wood
White paint to repair any power tool damage
Copper wire "sewing"
More sharpie topographical outlining

Piece Five (forgot to post on time)

Started doing a topographical map-ish thing---thick layer of gesso followed by tracing of bumps with charcoal
Also started cutting and stitching

Piece Four

Lighting is bad...

Piece Three

Probably my favorite of my pieces so far

Possible title: "A Family of Four Waits for the Impending Mayan Apocalypse (in anticipation of December 21, 2012)"

It's very long
That's the point

Piece Two

Forgot to take process pictures of this on but it is definitely better now than it was as a blank canvas...

Piece One + Static

On due date for critique

Went Black Friday shopping and got a TON of new supplies. Edits: Added shading to casket lid, redid background with palette knife. Photo taken in my bathroom---lighting is a little harsh. ALSO, just realized the blanket-thing is a little skewed. Will try to fix later. Not quite sure how that happened.

"Static". Played around with leftover paint and cardboard. Currently drying...
