Art experiment journal entry

(( technically this is the 4th of my art experiment journals. But the first one I'm posting up here in attempts to once again, use dreamwidth more. We'll see how that goes.))

So one of the presents I got this was the apoxie sculpt that I asked for. (( honestly my christmas list was a lot of art related things. I'm really hoping to grow my art and experiment more in the coming year.) . I am excited to experiment with it honestly and have a thought for a possible small piece to work on as a experiment.

The idea involves a smaller size canvas as this is more so a experiment. Best to start small. I will make a number of small house shapes out of cardboard (( maybe some cheap aluminum foil or newspaper wadded up as a sort of support for the cardboard too? Depends.)) Glue those down to the canvas and cover them with apoxie sculpt and add details to them ones by one. Then painting them after that.

I also like the idea of using crumbled up and piled on foil or newspaper to also cover (maybe with paper clay?) to be cliff sides/ledges look.

Related to that thought, something like that idea but instead of house shapes glue on open boxes cover with paper clay maybe. Ohh, and maybe make little figures for inside the boxes. That be interesting.

In a area of medium I don't work in much, I found out about nalbinding and I think this is possibly be my in to the fiber arts of sorts. I don't have a good track record with learning fiber arts well. I could learn it I think if I tried harder at it but it's a hard learning curve for me. Sewing mainly I want to get better at. Crochet I have a small bit of more experience with and am still trying to learn.

From what I seen in youtube videos nalbinding is in the crochet/weaving family? Fun fact, learned about nalbinding today from a fan fic I read. So will be experimenting with that too.

Less on the experiment side, the thought of cutting out a ballerina silhouette/shape out of gold colored paper. And making the outfit black, with a tutu formed out of small paper scraps that are glued down one by one.

As always, open to comments, questions, or just chatting about art.

Thank you again for the advice. Took a look for more closer to my etsy shops and I already put in a order for a needle that looks good. Soon enough I'll be able to do some nalbinding experiments.

Good luck with it!
