Eva Funderburgh:
Progress today in the big form. Also, made a fairly epic amount of mess
Eva Funderburgh:
Success! Every arrow slip and scored into place. I'm declaring this guy ready for the kiln.
Eva Funderburgh:
Progress, but something feels off. Time to get lunch and muse. #wip
Eva Funderburgh:
Full plate of arrows. I figure at worst, this is halfway. Better than less than halfway
Eva Funderburgh:
Test run, with about an hour and a half's worth of arrows.
Eva Funderburgh:
Making tiny arrows for the standing beast. I'm clearly not going to be able to finish enough of them tonight
Eva Funderburgh:
All the segments roughed out for the large seated form. Time for attaching and refining!
Eva Funderburgh:
The studio extruder didn't have any dies small enough for tiny arrows: decided to tackle the problem head on
Eva Funderburgh:
Late night progress
Eva Funderburgh:
Late night progress
Eva Funderburgh:
Late night progress
Eva Funderburgh:
Torso and head for the seated lady all roughed out! Decided to make her giant.
Eva Funderburgh:
These two clay sketches have been hanging out while their ideas marinate. I'm going to start on the left one today. The right still needs longer to stew
Eva Funderburgh:
Progress on the beast on a hill. Both halves and the legs attached, lots of surform work.
Eva Funderburgh:
Slowly building a crop of beasties for the march woodfiring.
Eva Funderburgh:
Just roughed out a piece that's going to require me making way too many tiny arrows.
Eva Funderburgh:
Patina test results- awful, with some flashes of beauty.
Eva Funderburgh:
Late night mad science going on. Contents: water, ammonia, copper carb, sculpture
Eva Funderburgh:
Last bronze class! The lady is welded back into one piece, lots of grinding still to do.
Eva Funderburgh:
Working on a little guy, nervously standing on a rug
Eva Funderburgh:
Marathon mess making as I cut the bronzes from their sprues and start the clean up. #wip
Eva Funderburgh:
Goal for the week: start to bring these little flying guys to etsy!
Eva Funderburgh:
Found powder
Eva Funderburgh:
Tiny heart
Eva Funderburgh:
Heart's home
Eva Funderburgh:
Molds broken, work revealed
Eva Funderburgh:
Bronze poured
Eva Funderburgh:
First pour complete, waiting for second to melt! Folks are breaking out and hosing down the work
Eva Funderburgh:
Waiting for the bronze to melt!
Eva Funderburgh:
Getting ready for the bronze pour. We're digging a sand pit for the investment cylinders while the bronze melts.
