Final 2 photographs for cardboard project.
 


A card I got from one of the vendors at Art in the Park in Blowing Rock.
 

Basketball outtakes.
 



 
Playground outtakes.

ADVENTURES WITH GORDON!!!
 
 
Gordon's cooking up a storm!
 


 
Just look at him go!  The focus.  The determination.  The skill.  Its unbelievable!

ADVENTURES WITH GORDON!!!
 
Gordon had a long day.
 


Quick sketch for cardboard wearable sculpture project.

Creepy, uncomfortable contour line drawing for my wire project.  (Colored in later)

My pathetic attempt at making the bat symbol...

Got some new thinner wire!  22 gauge, to be exact!


 
 
THE WIRE IS SO DIRTY!!!!!!!!!!
(I actually like these pictures.  The black stuff from the wire reminds me of the way coal miners looked.  That contrasts highly with the look of the clean, white lace.)
 
 

Inspiration: wire animals and things.
 


UNICORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
Incredible ^^^

I need inspiration..............and.......motivation.
 



Portraits.

Wrapping the wire around a brush to get the legs of the octopus....a slow and painful process.

My first failed attempt at a coil!!  Pretty awful!



 
I'm pretty proud of the coil in the back.  I wish the whole head was that tight, but I didn't take into account the spring effect it would get.



Wire project (that I didn't add earlier).
DOCTOR OCTOPUS!!!!!!!!
 

Cage part: done.
 

I made buttons out of waxed paper. 


More work..



getting there...



I had to hand sew this part, because there was no way to get the sewing machine in there.  It took a very long time.


Finally got the bodice sewn to the skirt, with some cardboard to hide and support the seam. 

 
The skirt...
