1 May is always the start of the Duck Shooting season. The guys (and girls and kids) are out before dawn in their maimais, ready to take pot shots. This year it is delayed at least a week. Damn that virus!!! Being in Lockdown yet working fulltime (from home) also leaves me as scattered as the autumnal leaves gracing our yards. So how about some little bits and pieces of art:
THE VIRUS ITSELF,
as depicted in so many news pieces:
I was browsing through a drawer of MDF pieces for something else. These hollow-centered drip-like not-cogs struck me as being perfect to represent the virus shape we see in all the news pieces, along with some blobs of flowersoft. People are trapped in their bubble (ie glued behind a large glass cabochon, which fit over the centre hole). The company making the mdf cutouts (Things to Alter) is no longer in existence.
Stuck in our Corona-virus bubble, almost 5 weeks Level 4 lockdown, now part-way through 2 (+?) weeks at level 3, hairdressers still are not allowed to open. Now,
Every Day Is A Bad Hair Day
Mercy! Please!!!
I thought I knew who created Zombie Chicken stamp, but can't trace it. ATC card, stencilled, and again can't identify the covid-shape little stamp either :( Never mind, I need those scissors!!!
The final piece uses an MDF winged skull shape from
Paper Whimsy
It's amazing the bubbly texture you can get from using a heat gun on Jacquard Lumiere paints.
Don't you think Asylum Anne has bubble-prisons on her mind?
We have a reward for the "best" dark piece you share with us on the right. When entries reach #40, we will be choosing our favourite between numbers 21-40.
So keep expressing your
darkest dreams with us all - they deserve to be aired!
I love this creation!!! It's a great way to handle this lockdown!
ReplyDeleteI do have a question too.
Why is the Linky list closed. Normally it's open all year. Did I miss a message?
