Finally today, well yesterday actually because I'm writing this in the morning -- before heading in there again. Anyway finally the light dawned -- the only way to deal with this mess is to DEAL WITH IT, I mean really deal with it. Don't move it, finish it or pitch it. A few things got pitched. Others I decided could stay so I'm working on those I came across yesterday.
The sailboat, a paper mache project to finish. I'm a boat person, well a water person but I love boats too. So when I saw this one I decided I had to try making one to add to my small boat collection.
And then there are the 6 paper boats that I made thinking it would be a fun project -- but what do I do with them -- I believe the trash barrel is a good place for them. The sailboat can go on the shelf with the rest of them.
You can hardly see my favorite, it's clay. The brown bow between the yellow and blue is one I made in a ceramics class. I made some fun pots too but this was part of my final project. I worked on it first, the project was to make a house and when my instructor saw it he questioned why.... "that's not a house." I told him it was part of it, probably the most important part. Here's the rest of the project...
The other project I need to finish and move to our back yard is a mosaic. The ball on top was on a pole in the garden but grandpa and grandson where playing and not careful... the bottom half hit a rock. Since I can seem to stand disposing of things that can be saved, here it is, still in process. The crash happened 4 years ago. It's time to get it done and out of the studio.
My goal today -- finish adding to the base of the mosaic and epoxy the pieces together; add another layer of paper to the boat and make a sail; and see what else I come across to finish.
But first -- I'm off to paint with my Tuesday Painters group.
