glass raccoon

So here is my trashy glass raccoon. I think the photos give it justice. The main reason that the butt if fur is because I didn't measure the glass correctly to the mold so it never filled all the way, hence there being no butt. I had to compensate by making it out of fur and stuffing it with paper towels.

The body of the raccoon is hollow and it was supposed to be filled with light to illuminate it, but the light I had was very BLUE and it was too unnatural and the second light source I had died right before the critique started. Bummerrr! It's ok though, at least the overhead light worked ;)

Besides that, I hope everyone's enjoying themselves as the weather gets colder, brrr!

Thanks!

crayon prints >,> and Hawthorne Gallery!

Alrightyyy! Last night I had a little fun with the hot plate and crayons :) I realized that I should experiment with layering since the process is very much like printing, so I did. I'm super happy with the results. It was cool to play with the idea of x-ray vision with the first two. The last one was actually the first that I tried and I believe it is my favorite( even though the alignment is off.) She lost her shoe! ...and of course my cute wittle hammerhead :)...OH!

.....speaking of hammerheads!

I recreated my smashed sheet glass hammerhead shark and got it in the little Hawthorne Gallery (till Friday, Oct. 1) located on the second floor of the Fine Arts Building! If you're around, you should check it out!

..or just look here :)

(sorry for the weird photo quality!)

Thanks again, Hope everyone enjoys :)
