The challenge - The challenge for Day 27 & 28 (I think you know what it is).....Create a fused glass powder sgraffito drawing of our model, Albert. This was fun. I didn't get it perfect. I drew the shape of the head straight on instead of slightly tilted and so everything is off BUT I enjoyed this and I think I will do this again. The next one will hopefully be good enough to fire.

This time, the tree should be created upside-down. That means that you will start at the top of your glass with the trunk, and pull the glass toward you to make the branches. Today you may use both hands in your work, plus the business card and your choice of tools. Here is the 'catch'... Anything on the left side of the tree must be drawn with your left hand, and anything on the right side of the tree must be drawn with your right hand.
Day 23 - Take a photo of something you collect and create a glass powder sgraffito drawing of it.1/25/2015 Not so much anymore, but I love Piglet...the original Piglet.
I remember the day I learned that the original piglet was actually an armadillo. Think about it-tiny pointed nose, pointed tail and a green lined body. That is so not a pig. Disney then "disneyfied" him and made him a pig. I guess they figured people wouldn't know what an armadillo was? Anyway Piglet has always had a special place in my heart and yes, I used to collect little miniature (and sometimes larger) piglets. Not the best but I think I am going to fire this drawing and use it as a bit in a "later-to-be-made" collage. Ha-at this point I am not only one day behind in posting (and 2 days behind in doing). Sigh
Day 20 - Sgraffito Flowers using only black frit.
Day 21 - Compose a collection of flowers in a container using only black frit. Not saving either of these but when I have time I may go back and redo this challenge. Could have been more fun and a keeper with other images. I am going to fire this one. I used Dark Red Powder BE # 124. I think I will make the stem green and then add other reds and spring and other greens for shading. I look forward to finishing this one.
Day 13's challenge was to draw this lovely animal in the photo. Nailed it. I am not going to be working on this project for a while as I will be attending a memorial in honor of my Mother.
See you next week. |
