Sunny again! Had to go to famous DIY store that brags about employing 'oldies'[hope for me in the plaster department then] for some beeswax for my wood plinth. Then a couple of visits to see family and back...slight interruption from planned schedule due to long chat with Kathryn [chicken bone lady] who had to keep breaking off to scold her two boys. How she manages to cope with them and a degree is amazing; Elaine who is a second year with me has 4 kids! so I can't moan can I ? Anyway, on it went until I was getting so hot sat in the car I had to say 'Turrah, see you Tuesday'.
The images above show what I got up to, dressed all in white [too lazy to change] with a piece of cornicing and a bag of coal dust. The coal dust was literally poured on at the bottom, then blown around a bit, sprayed with car lacquer to adhere some of the dust, waited awhile drinking coffee and then let the loose dust drop off. After the lacquer dried I used a graphite stick to add a little interest.It was done fairly quickly and I like the result a lot; I also like how it looks on the photographs. The neighbours will be watching me from their landing window...she's mad, look what she's doing now...call that art!!!
