I've decided tokeep a a diary of the work I do each day/week to remind me that I'm actually doing a bit of work... Monday.... can't remember but I do know that I worked at home doing more felting of a face using white wool and this time tried to layer it up more to try and make it stiffer so hopefully that will work. I'm also making a form in the shape of a face. I used foam.. The first attempt of the foam didn't go as planned.. I bought it about a year ago and the foam didn't expand so a tip for my two followers... Keith and John!!!! don't use old expanding foam. On monday I bought some foam and was quite generous with the application so now I have a hugh head and have to try and make it into a shape of a normal head. At least I didn't make as much of a mess around the kitchen as I did on the first attempt.
Tuesday was great fun... Did life drawing which I really enjoyed and feel I learnt a lot even though my shoulder was killing me after it. Did a lot of printing that day and wasnt' happy at all with the results so I'm taking a break from printing for a few days to cool myself down and get my head around it.
Wednesday 17th .... Went to CCS which I must say didn't excite me as much as the other lectures. Went down to the main LIT Campus and found a great technician there who helped me get a A2 photocopy of a face done. Spent about an hour last friday trying to do it in clare St. , and couldn't get it working and no help from the technician there. He told me first years weren't allowed us the machine... Then went to 3D with Elaine and tool loads of copies of photographs of faces. Showed her one of the pieces I was working on and I'm trying to develop that by making longs rectaganol shapes with the possibility of putting the photos onto them... Took the night off toninght at home...
