Art STudio Work

1/28/2016

Today I started by rearranging my inspiration and project boards.

​Then I disassembled the mold I was working on. As I suspected, it did not turn out that well and I could try to fix it, but it would be better to just start from scratch.
Picture
 
I fabricated four cottleboards for the new mold I'm going to make. It will make everything cleaner and more precise. When I return, I will still need to fill, sand, and paint.
Picture
Finally, I remade some labels for an older art project that I'm exhibiting next week.

Working in the studio

Today I started by doing  touchups on some mixed media pieces that are being featured in an art show. Then I began making a six part mold for another art piece. I realized that using pressboard was not a good idea, so tomorrow I will fabricate some cottleboards.
