June Roundup

So despite the time sink that is an unpaid internship I have actually been working on some art, but sadly none of it is jewelry related. Still, have some drive by pictures of half finished projects like you're reading tumblr:

Firstly, I've been carving a golf ball into the shap of a swan. The rubber in side a modern golf ball is quite fun to carve, but I am terrible at detail carving and smoothing it out so I have been picking away at this off and on for weeks.

I have an old book called Album of Cats that didn't sell at a garage sale. This collage is a siamese from the book and some old SAIC college ads back from when I was in high school. I've titled it Alarm and have to glue down the cat, fill in the white strips at the bottom and test whether painting matte medium over it is a good or bad idea.

And since I'm using cat pictures for collages I also have the obligatory lolcats one that's titled Young Astro Cat Sees Forever for the First Time combining not one but two memes! This is a painting of space on canvas (that needs one more yellow spot welling up in the lower left) to which the cat on the piano keys in front of it will be glued on. To make stars I will be cutting out pictures of Pandora charms from one of their old catalog booklets.

And finally, succulents!
