Working outside the lab, but making progress
by Jenine BressnerI've been in L.A. for about a week now and I'm really eager to get back to the lab. I have so many ideas about how to incorporate every lesson thus far into my big project, especially making molds to cast multiples of tiny body parts for the characters I've been sculpting. I'll also be molding some 3-D rendered forms. Complicated and interactive automata dioramas!
I hand- sculpted the heads above in Cernit. I flameworked the glass eyes, and the "hair" on the right is made of trochus shells.
