A good day

Uncategorized 1 Minute

First job for today was cutting back the details on my mask rug. I decided to title the Tribal Tears, due to the lengths of wool hanging from the eyes.
At this point it looks ok for my third tufted piece.
This is where this comes alive, I took away the brown packing tape on the back of this rug. The tape is used to mask the base material when latex is added to the back of the rug to seal it.
What then happened is the rug started to curl and turn itself in to a standing sculptural piece, very much like a totem.
Can I take this idea further ? And would it work on a bigger scale?
Time to get designing.
Next was a visit to the pottery to try out my sample pack of black sculpture clay.
This clay is excellent, it has the right consistency for sculpting I’m really looking forward to working with it some more
