powertex sculpture

last month i was fortunate to have brigette thompson instruct me

in many techniques with powertex

our first project was to construct and dress a sculpture

making a wire skeleton, wrapped with foil and masking tape

and then the fun of "mummy" wrapping with cotton strips and powertex

( it reminded me of making mud pies as a kid)

once the sculpture was hardened it was fun to "dress her up"

i chose to leave her hair natural and created a book out of cardboard and paper

and highlighted with a bit of gold powder and varnish

next post i will show you my project with stone art and powertex
