I stepped away from my ever present circles in the last challenge, and am also working with a more linear concept for this one- another type of crystal.
I've seen pictures of carbon buckyballs, but this doesn't have the right amount of facets for that, so the best I could come up with is Lattice. and Protocol, because that sounds science-y :)
so, I start building the piece on a slab of batik I have lying around, I love the subtle light colored ones because they add a lot of interest to whatever you're working on.

now I cut out the lattice part, fuse it on top of the stenciled batik and then comes some balls- this time out of Evolon-

Very impressive!
ReplyDeleteYou NAILED 3-D dimension in a two dimensional piece.
ReplyDeleteSo interesting to see the process Betty. The result is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAmazing - - thanks for the walk-through!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!
