See these? These are a primitive, rough, unfinished and unsatisfying version of what is in my head. They have their own naive Charm, I think– but far too abrasive for the purpose of fricative, shall we say, pleasure.
This is more like it. Ornate enough to please my eye, but smooth and controlled.
And that was yesterday– Wait till you see today’s progress! (You will as soon as my camera battery recharges)
Each day in each way I get closer to my goal– and one thing that has brought me closer is changing my materials. After my learning curve the wax I am now using is doing exactly what I needed it to do. And those materials have to be bought… Will you help me?
My first goal is 50 dollars so that I can buy twice as much wax as I can if I buy it at 15 dollars a pound– by the way, I can buy it from someone who formulates it himself and who was in a debilitating accident this year, so I would love to shoot a little business his way.
And my second need is 200 dollars so I can take a class in making molds and casting my first prototypes. That class happens in three weeks, by the way.
Any funds over that… well, the more casting materials I have the more mistakes I can troubleshoot. And pretty soon, there will be something new and beautiful in the world!
I have been told that “presales” are a dumb idea at this stage. But if you are interested, I will issue you an IOU for 150% of your donation towards a purchase of one of these fine works-of-art-to-be 🙂
