This is what a semester of sculpture looks like

Well, the semester is wrapping up and I've finally brought all of my projects home, so I thought I'd share them with you!  This was my first time taking a sculpture class and I really loved it.  It was great stress relief and I got to try out quite a few creative processes.


Park Bench with Tree growing through it
wire, yarn, tulle, nylon



Project 2: abstract
chicken wire, burlap, plaster, tulle, buttons



Project 3: Balloon project (front)
We inflated balloons and taped them to the inside of a box then filled the box with plaster and let
it set.  After the plaster set we had to carve away the square, dealing with the negative
space where the balloons were as we got to them.  This project was definitely my favorite!



Here's the back.  I stained the plaster with tea bags (that's the brown) and did an acrylic paint wash for the inside spaces.  Some of the holes were drilled and some were balloon spaces.

Well, I hope you enjoyed!  I love getting my creative juices going!
