Hello all,
I've got another hat to show you, this one modeled by my assistant Monika. I'm slowly developing my little studio into a little atelier.
I'm also starting a new project of creating a small automata called battina. An automata is a kinetic sculpture, like a jack-in-the-box. I took the idea from a doll manufacturer, and you can look at the original idea at this website. I've created a small head for the creature and am going to work on creating the wings this week.
I'm planning on doing more of the mixing of felt sculpture and mechanical elements, for my next Bromfield show in March of 2011, tentatively titled "Invasive Species". I want the sculptures to seem alive, but they will all move by different simple mechanisms. I'm really excited for this and will be documenting the progress on this blog.
Today, I'm busy making a jacket for my new class at Worcester Art Museum, a felt garment workshop. I'm very excited for getting to teach this new class.
Next time, I'll have some pictures of the jacket, and an exclusive explanation of how to lay out your pattern to create you jacket.
Hope everyone is well, and Happy Felting.
