| | Make 1/4" high Frame, Put Clay in frame, Press in flat stones |
| | | Judge height and placement, start at edge of ajoining piece. |
| | | Start with simple, crude clay bits, we will work it while wet later. |
|
| | Added some vine-like structures (clay rolled up). |
| | | I wanted gas vents or spouts, so I made them with a pencil. |
| | | Dip curved hobby knife in water. With this clay, only a little water is needed |
|
| | See the middle? scrape&work the wet clay with back of knife. |
| | | Large sections have course patern, "vines" were worked by dry scrapings. |
| | | I added more "roots" working their way into rock floor and walls. |
|
| | Unpainted - just testing various layouts of the new piece with some of my others |
| | | Some more playing and testing to get some ideas. |
| | | A shot of the corner along with some of my other modular sections. |
|
| | I then made a 1-piece RTV mold of the corner, similar to these. |
| | | This shows some of the roots/vines working their way into the structure. |
| | Pict doesn't really show vibrance of colors. Going for a fantasy look here.
