Step 12E - Spl1nt3rC3ll
Spl1nt3rC3ll
My original idea was to create a clay sculpture of an intricate "E", but alas, sculpting, glazing, and firing all take time. I, unfortunately, did not have the luxury of time for this project. So what is the next best thing to clay sculpture? The answer, in my opinion, is Found Art sculpture.
Now all I needed were supplies. Luckily enough we had just redone the the kitchen drawers, providing me with a good supply of golden scrap metal. These, along with spent CO2 canisters left over from ten hours of Airsofting, proved quite useful.
I then assembled the bits and pieces into various patterns, keeping the ones I liked. Design No. 1 was too large, so I slimmed it down to the final design. Now all I needed to do was epoxy the pieces, attach it to the base, and impatiently wait for the 26th.
*Sigh.* Well, I was getting ready to ship this when it fell off of the table and shattered. I've tried my best to fix it, so if this arrives at HQ in pieces at least you know what it looked like. It currently looks worse than the original, everything is crooked and Epoxy is smeared everywhere. :(
On the plus side, I've sent an Epoxy container with my E. If it doesn't break, you've got free Epoxy!
