And More Leaves

Posted bypaperstewPosted inLinks to Art

Things are finally moving along. The sides required more leaves and I created a sleeve off one shoulder. That part didn’t work. It’s all a learning process.

I used the two window method to build up the sides and create a sleeve.

Once the coat dried, everything was peeled off the glass so “real sleeves” could be produced.

Voila! A vest is formed!

After the sides were secured in vest form, I was then able to glue the sleeves into cylindar forms and attach to the coat.

Here we have the finished piece:

Now all I have to do is finish picking out the clear bits and create a bundle of branches to hang it from. “Winter’s Remains” coat will be complete. Drop off time for the Community Open is Saturday March 21 from noon to 4pm.

Happy Spring!
