The End Is in Sight...

Sorry, there hasn't been a lot to post on since I've just been carving and working all week. I figured I'd condense the posts into this one since they'd all be a sentence, like "still carving today." Anyways, I was working on the third one today, thinking that they'd all be ok for tomorrow, and whoever makes the foam puts little perforated little cuts along the surface that make it easier for builders to break and harder for artists to carve. I was carving along the edge of one of these lines, and the whole thing split in half. So I had to start over with the third piece, setting me back to finishing the rest of the project this week. I expect it to be done on wednesday night-ish, so for the people that are in class, I'll show what I already have tomorrow, and the finished work on friday during class. I reworked the mache by adding more regular glue and some flour, since the original was too wet and crumbly. Due to material costs and mixing glue, I'm putting off the paper mache part until all of the images are finished carving up. I don't want to have to get the mix right more than once. The other three to be printed should be off the ground later this week, and finished over thanksgiving break.
