Divine design:

 

"Following my drawing, I built a sitting bench from a stone slate by using 3 building bricks on each side as its base. I then positioned 3 bags of colored stones as a pathway. I enhance the design by adding colored cedar wood chips, they smell nice and are known to deter bugs."

The project Feminist Art Studio "Spero" aimed to promote feminist art in Georgia; to enable women artists in Georgia to work and become more visible; to ensure women's better access to art resources; to encourage a better representation of women artist in contemporary art of Georgia. The objectives of the project included the following: setting up a feminist art studio which serves female art students, artists and art lovers and is equipped with necessary facilities for creating a comfortable atmosphere for working; promoting feminist values among the participants; enabling them to paint and draw free of charge; raising public interest in feminist art and women artists' work through the studio discussions.

 

As a result of the project implementation, the Feminist Art Studio Spero worked for 6 months and provided studio space and art resources to 10 women artists; enabled them to work with models; organized two discussions on women artists and feminist art. The studio was equipped with all necessary materials for painting and drawing and created a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere for working. The studio served specifically to professional and amateur women artists, who are unable to afford expensive art materials and studios for working. 10 artists used all the studio resources free of charge during the six months of the project life. During the project implementation, two public discussions were organized devoted to the work of raising women artists' and public's consciousness about feminist art. The studio ensured women artists' access to expensive art materials and also, to albums and books on feminist and women's art.

The new DIY I have to custom is awesome, isn't it? ^_______^

 

This is for an upcoming exhibition in San Diego, California.

(I rambled on my blog, but I know some of you can't read it thanks to stupid censorship, so I'll just paste some bits of the blog here. and the onlays need a little cleaning up still, fear not, they will be flawless once the book is done!)

I like how the handcut letters turn into a handwriting when I stick them together. I could've done the title using brass type, either in simple blind tooling or gilt, but that type of titles have kind of lost their charm to me. I like the organic and slightly weird appearance of my tiny little leather letters. The title is made, not just printed. To me it makes a difference.

This is what I'm working on in the last couple of days.

Sarah Jane patterns.

These are beautiful patterns.

leather pared with schärf-fix and self made paring knives (which beat the store-bought ones any time)

Sketch including found objects from Lemon Creek State Park, Staten Island, NY.

finishing the cover before I stick the leather on it. it's kind of sad to cover up that pretty blue, though.

almost finished. the endpapers are sewn with turquoise silk, hence the odd colourful bits here and there.

Honestly it did not take long at all to make this rough sculpt of the body.. I moved slow, but it only takes a few minutes once you get a feel for it. I use a cordless Dremel tool; works beautifully, well worth $40 or whatever they sell for now (mine was a Christmas gift). I found myself judging the angles to make sure both sides were symmetrical more than half the time it took to carve it. It also helps if you draw out the shape you want with a marker.

dust masks aren't fun, but better than getting all this in your lungs.

in the evening, it's the money plant making funny shadows on my desk.

I was sanding the spine and all of a sudden I see this thing. Looks like Frank to me. Yikes. I don't want any aeroplane parts falling on me from the sky!

not the ideal livingroom design object, but it's still pretty amazing.

bamboo.

 

I laminated the cover boards from layers of binder's board and kraft paper. adds extra strength and stability, also makes up for the fact that there's no proper board available here.

this is the worst stage. when you don't still know how this particular piece is going to behave when you put your knife on it. everything went well in the end.

This is the first vacuform I made of the body.. I think it's a little longer than I wanted, so I'll probably alter the balsa wood body and make a better master to work with.

Belly of the buck, I probably won't need to vacu-form this half.

Further fitting the parts together (exposed rear). Without something in the rear it looks too unbalanced, which is why I like the red container in the back.

just when you think you're done, there's still twenty of the last shade of blue left

all my little bits of onlays. there's a reason why I like zip-lock bags.
