Tuesday.

A slight deviation from coal; on Wednesdays we have a workshop day with Richard. For our project 'Bookie Wookie' we had to produce work influenced by books and this image is obviously a book [ 50p from the library] dipped in plaster, then by adding more and more very slowly over the sides a thicker, interesting surface is formed. When dry it could be carved or sanded to give an interesting surface. Plaster is one of my favourite materials, I just wish the setting time was a bit longer. I love the effect of fragility that it gives to the pages but yet the cover has references to something on a plinth in a museum! It was a good day, I love not being too sure of the outcome.
