Tomorrow is the first day of spring! Where did February go...and half of March???
It seems I have been pouring a lot of acrylic over glass, but not so excited about it that I had to rush to my computer to post any of it. Taking refuge in my art space has been wonderful during the winter months. Some of the pourings have been interesting, but 'nothing to 'write home about.'
I'll start this post by showing some square glass that had been hanging around for some time. I had used these as candle holders in clear glass... what if, I poured them?
A few weeks ago, a friend of mine gave me several vases that someone had wanted to get rid of. I had put off using this one because I thought it's shape would be challenging. First of all, how would I get it to balance upside down? I needed it to be stable enough to paint. I found some long nails that I hammered into a base and wedged a paper towel cardboard over a dowel. At least I felt confident that it wouldn't tip and shatter on the concrete floor.
The second challenge was how to get the paint to drip toward the top. (that would be the bottom in the photo) As the paint runs down the vase, it tend to drip straight down and onto the paper without flowing under the rounded part.
I love that squiggle on the third view! Wish I knew how to make that happen again somewhere.
