last week before christmas..

At the start of the week i did manage to do the prints from the cut out cardboard..which i really like, the fact that every line in the corigated cardboard comes out in the print gives it a really interesting effect!
The rest of this week has been taken up with organizing my space, taking everything down to put in a portfolio for the presentation and also deciding what to display on my wall for the assesment.  It was hard to decide but i think i came up with a solution im happy with, i picked only a few, five or six pieces to show as i think they best represent what my work has been about!
  So long for now..

monday 6th - friday 10th..

this week i made a print in wax and also in clay using cutout cardboard, i like how it turned out! it was a bit messy with the hot wax but it worked out :) then i also did prints with a wood cut, in black and gold (the colours iv been sticking with for a while) i want to try to get a print done with ink with the cut out cardboard also to see how it turns out! everyone is just trying to get organised before the holidays!! only one week left :)

making progress.. only two weeks 'till the holidays!!

this past week iv been working alot with corrigated cardboard. the textures get interesting when you take off the top layer of the paper and then your left with the 'ribbed' cardboard inside..so i used that to my advantage and made a big piece with that! i also got my essay totally done..woohoo..
so.. back to the work, i have also been playing alot further with the latex and more with the spraypaint.. putting black paint into the latex and pouring onto the tops of the cans gives a lovely effect when you peel it off, and as someone pointed out they actually look like hoop earings!!..interesting! next week im hoping to be all about clay and casting however the workshops are finishing (i think) so maybe it wont work out but we shall see!!!
