11am: Goodwill was a little disappointing...and thankfully they have a 7-day return policy I didn't know about prior to purchasing some electronics that I discovered did not function. But I arrived at the D&P prop shop (where all my materials are stored) to work on/edit my pieces. I quickly built the last of my MDF boxes, got a base coat in those two, and got to "filling in the gaps".
3pm: I got inspired after a brief break, and decided to use the 1/16" plexi sheeting for one of the boxes I previously had few to little three-dimensional elements involved.
For the stencil that I had previously cut out, I searched the web for “anatomical heart” imagery, and discovered a VectorStock, a website that distributed free images designed by various graphic artists that are available for all types of image references.
From there, I grabbed spray paint and started playing with layering and texturing. Pleased with the results from just a half an hour of rigorous painting, I sealed them with a coat of clear, and took them to the band-saw to cut out geometric pieces for my heart collage on the white base.
5pm: I am absolutely thrilled. I’ve decided to call it quits for the evening, and take some time to do some blogging, thinking, planning, and editing. I think if I went back into the shop to do more work, I would clutter the work I’ve done so far, so it seems a smart move to walk away from it.
For next time: I’ve definitely got a more finite plan of attack on the last few bits of my installation pieces before/during the Spring Break. However, due to my lack of funds, I will have to secure some more materials, and wait for a few special shipments to come in before I can complete the last box.
