JEB-ATC2003.05.08-10

Friday, September 5th, 2003

A week or so ago, I played with acrylics and Golden Gel Medium (gloss). I enjoyed mixing the colors into the medium — although some of the acrylics in my palette were a bit stiff — and painted over a piece of scrap cardboard (roughly 9″ square). Part of my attraction to ATCs is the ability to free things i’ve meade, even experiments, instead of hording them. So, i’ve cut out four regions as ATCs. They’re part of the Silence series because i was trying to get that same sense across, but it didn’t quite work, particularly cut down to ATC size.

I’ve taken some photos of these and will add to the gallery; the photos aren’t as good as the scans were were getting. *sigh*

Dragon Head

I didn’t need to start *another* project this weekend, but did, by accident.

This dragon’s head is made of sculpey, fimo, formello, and other plastic-clays over an armature of Paragona aluminum 1/16″ pattern contour mesh. [Item 212 Reorder number 50004D]

I pulled apart a framed print (water damaged), repainted the frame black, and have begun tacking a copper mesh [1/4" copperform mesh: Item 216, Reorder number 50008H] inside the frame. When it’s done, i’ll be able to hang French wire earrings from the wire mesh and keep the occasional earring back in the dragon’s mouth.
