Week 5

I casted the 2-liter bottle this week and it turned out really good. I am happy with the detail in the wrapper and the cap, although there are a few places where the plaster didn't get smooth i don't think that it hurts the look of the bottle any.

Earlier in the week I got all of my bowls thrown and trimmed and was suprised at how easy it was. I seemed to make the bowls a lot faster than the cylinders and they look more professional than the cylinders too. I cannot wait to throw out my old bowls and use the ones that I made.

I also made a mold of a pair of brass knuckles this week as well as a styrofoam to-go box. I am going to use the brass knuckles as a handle on the styrofoam cups to make mugs out of them. I want to put them into a show or my white trash show with the names "mugged", "Muggers' ...ect. I will probably glaze the brass knuckles with gold and silver luster.
i plan to make a few other to-go boxes and possibly stack them into a pile or possibly have just one or a few, i haven't decided yet. I am thinking that the title of this piece will be 'For here or forever' to represent just one of many ways that we use trash and then discard it later.
We get to-go boxes because we don't want to waste food, and we don't even think about wasting the box, and how it is going to be on the Earth for years to come.
