What I did was put hose on the wire frame and painted it with many coats of starch. This made it very stiff, which would be good, but I needed more of a contour shape, sooo… I decided to use plaster. Well the water in the plaster dissolved my starch.. so I decided I would use paper mache. This worked well but wasnt drying quick enough, so.. in a stroke of brilliance (sarcasm) I figured if I put a layer of plaster over it, it would dry and soak up the water. WRONG.. wrong wrong. It NEVER dried.
So I did my Plan B (or Z) and just covered it in an old copy of “The Female Orgasm” (a scientific look at it) At 5am I just gave up. I went back at 8am and it was still VERY wet… I had to use woodglue to keep the pages from falling off. After the pages were wet and had turned colors abit, i really started to like it.
It came time for class and I had to move that heavy bitch. It sucked, but all worked out in the end! My critique went well and I loved how she looked displayed. I cant wait to actually finish her. I think she would look amazing in a gallery.
I really like it. The inside looks like fire, which helps the concept. I want to go back over her and make it a bit more smooth, also add some thicker wire. In critique someone brought up the idea of sound, which I think would be interesting to add pr0n background noise or music.
In other news, a butterfly landed on my hand today.

First!
Before the newspaper and plaster it looked like buffalo bill’s skin suit from “Silence of the lambs”. ^_^
