It’s totally my fault that a piece of my sculpture broke. I left them sitting around for the longest time before I decided to bake them. I did attempt to score both ends of the horn to see if I could somehow get them to become one again. I left it to sit after what I thought was a successful attachment to find that it had fallen back off an hour later.
While we were in California, I did get to chatting with our friend Thomas and asked him about different types of clay to experiment with. He recommended some sort of bonding agent to use after baking the sculpture to put it back together, so there is hope! If you’re curious about Thomas’ work then you can check out his Instagram @haxanthrobo His creations are exquisitely beautiful and they continue to inspire me to fine tune my craft.
The sculptures have been baked and now I don’t have to worry about them getting squished! 😆 I’ve thought about penciling in a sculpture painting day with but first I’d need to pick up some paint!
Instead of painting them in a wider range of color, I’d actually like these sculptures to match the design of the room. I’m looking to paint them in a bronze color...but how? 🤔 We’ve determined that the sculptures probably need to have a black base and then I’d apply a thin wash of bronze paint on top.
