All weekend was dedicated to the garden 🪴 I swept all corners and around fences.

Feeling relief 😅 and active. Smell of the dirt and fire 🔥 made my mind open even wider and wilder 🦊 I have modeled something big. A lightening object for Keten Helva project. With doing so, I’ve started to ✅ try a new technique with craft paper and fences as I planned on Monday.

I need to focus on my Pawns ♟ now. Not only they have the most amount in a set of chess, but also it will be the smallest and cheapest piece, means the one most probably will selling the most. So for this model I need to figure out a fast 💨 way to do it.

I modeled the pawn ♟ with the most common and basic recycling objects, empty paper towel 🧻 rolls and egg board’s. With doing so I will able to make them all in similar heights and weights.

My new paper well worked out great. shredded cupcake and icecream papers are mashed and came out a smooth paper mache. The vanished color base of the cardboard came out as plastic ropes though, not desired at all, I collected them by hand, worth it.

The paper mashe is shrinking almost %5. The details are easily get lost when it dries fully. So I started to add layers over and over.

Even if I want this project to look bright and vibrant, I also want it to keep simple and cheaper. So I might end up with watercoloring, means some pale colors instead. What I can do is skipping fancy color palettes 🎨 but using black and white in foggy 😶‍🌫️ tones. And some pinks on cheeks and lips 👄

Tomorrow will be the last day of the week. I’m hoping to safe some time to put together what I’ve done.
