(and. ... bare minimum husbandx3)
The Space Nun!!! this is a gift for friend beezah, in which i made carlotta as a thanks for cypress the laptop.
and lemme tell ya, she... was kicking my ass a bunch in the process of making her.
though it was more on my fault rather than she being angry... this is one of those instances where
having any sort of a blue print plan drawn out would have been SOMEWHAT helpful.
nevertheless, im remaining in once piece.
as for carlotta, cant really say the same.
decapitated and all that.
but BUT IN THE GOOD WAY because... yknow of the way i do dolls sometimes...
with the hollow body and all that... yeah i made space nun be a smuggle bag.
whish for her character, i didnt really have much of an option NOT to do so, as she has
interdimensional pockets and all that. so like cmon. itll ONLY make sense!
also yeah- i suppose ill just do that thing i did of last where i put the work in progress before the gallery.
keeps things in order somewhat more. forcing yall to see my commentary!
...
goddamn shes still kicking my ass from beyond the playing field...
originally there were some 93 photos for this section alone, but i managed to shave it to a mere 75.
begin with spending time mixing up colors to make a pile of blue purple and red purple.
then remember that somewhere i made a tile from... a while ago.
and seeing its a good size and not given much use after all this time,
i might as well use it for this. be it the base of the coat to be built up off.
and then after slapping down an appropriate amount of layer atop the old tile, i then cover with the main skin.
wetting to make all that wool establish together.
thats how big the coat tile is before rolling.
then how small it gotten after a couple rounds of rolling for shrinkage.
chunks and pieces!
so i made a few pieces that in the long run... werent really necessary. oh well. thatll come in later.
thats the thing about art sometimnes.
sometimes ya just fuck up cuz yer raw dogging everything through life.
goddamn... i really loved the random spattering of this tile... really inspiring..
perhaps i can do a felting project thats like reminicent of paleolithic cave art!
one last gaze as the tile was flat. before the tile no longer becomes a tile.
so trying to figure out how to go about making the coat become a coat...
scruff up the edges so there would be loose fibers ready to latch on to eachother when i close the coat
into a cone shape with the brushes.
shoved a piece of bubble wrap between the inner part of cone shape as i wet it to make sure the fibers
hug each other, because without something between, all that friction may cause the stuff inside to hug and close up.
and thats no good.
then flip inside out and do same thing just to make sure even more.
mixed up more piles for more stuff. heres a scarf. the first of two. technically 3.
hey remember how in previous projects i mentioned how im taking the klause hood and canibalizing it?
yeah. still am.
all these dang scarves!
yeah it was at this time i was beginnign to see mistakes shine through. oh well.
alright now things are starting to look clearer. before the "belly "was fully attached,
i snuck in some seeds of trailing blackberry (Rubus ursinus) because thats to be expected out of me at this point.
so after much deliberation, i thought to reject these two pieces from carlotta entirely. will be used for
later.
okay... the.. if something it being too much of a bitch, sometimes its better to just.
redo.
just go back and redo and start over on the thing that is tricking up.
so with those rejects, one being the base, i had to go and make an entirly new one.
so thats with layering, wetting, rolling, wetting some more, then attaching, making sure the attachments are secured...
but hey, at least second time is the charm! im so tired.
really tired.
hey remember that one project i made the other year ago of Guy? yeah i found a left over piece of yarn braid.
perfect to turn into her arms!
thats why i rejected the green scarf. would have been too long. so had to choose between the pink or green.
like really my main thought process behind making these two scarves was to like...
so they got those decals on em, and then when i do that whole rolling thing to shrink them,
then theyll be shrunk down TOO much and the decals would be too narrow.
... yeah i dont know either. oh well.
the arms! to be all the more easier for her to strangle me about.
making the hands be mitten shapes for that cutesy look.
alright so i asked what sort of plants would carlotta be of, and told she would be a raspberry and/or ivy.
now... the closest folks i can aqquire are himalayan blackberry and english ivy.
both being severely invasive species of plants here.
though i do have some seeds of trailing blackberry... and tea bags of raspberry...
so i got a little bag thing sewed up from a craft sheet and stuffed it with the plant materials, along with
some miscelanious flower petals sprinkled in, along with rosemary/lavender for smell...
making sure the head was correct size, bulking it out more if need be. making a light bulb shape.
(=)>
and then the third little scarf. making her not be bald. rubber bands to stress the fibers into remembering the folds.
making that tiara crown thingy. really stabbing it into herhead so it wont be pulled off so easily.
and then made her cane.
nothing really special to be had here. just didnt wanna make it outta wool again like BC becasue my fingers hurt enough.
a piece of broken paperclip i bent to be as straight as possible, and then sogged up chunks of paper towel in glue
wrapped around mummy style, wait for it to dry, then paint. then wait to dry again.
so here carlotta herslef is done. ... but IM not done.
AND NOW
him.
(x3)
so heres graff. carlottas man thing.
i was gonna just do One. and then Just Two.. but those still seemed lonely numbers.
three is juuuust right.
yeah this is what graff typically looks like. dont worry about it. so what if hes split into his three basic atoms.
yknow. i didnt even MEAN for him to be the perfect size of a candy wrapper.
i was given the candy like five minutes after i was done.
and now the stab counter.
granted that some days were spent on just wetting so no needle use.
carlotta stabbed me 108 while graff only 30 times.
138 in total... yknow its actually less than what a project of this calliber would have wrecked.
is as ahhhhh half a ruler length ..
whoops accidently threw a nuke at carlotta.
goddamn... these last photos were REALLY good
slike REAlly really good. sunsets are rather tricky to photograph in.
hoough...
hopefully now she stops kicking my ass
good bye,
