you get so far and then inspiration runs out...disappears...adios...
As indicated from my last post, this does happen to me...but I seem to be on a streak lately of picking up old projects and finishing them...the power of a deadline!
This time, the inspiration came from a fellow online artist...Dutch Barb...who is a member of my bestill52 online class...when I saw one of her recent posts, I had a eureka moment...and was motivated to action...
Two years ago I made some plaster of paris eggs...I hollowed out a couple of eggshells...very carefully...filled them with plaster of paris...very carefully...and then set them to dry for several days. I had half of a shell that I coated with plaster of paris on the inside...hoping to get an empty shell to fill with something later. After the plaster was completely dry, I removed the outer shell and I had eggs...after a little sanding to smooth out the edges...but now what...
When I saw Barb's photo on Flickr, I knew that this was the inspiration I was looking for...I went to work...gathering materials...
The eggs...
The feathers...
The glue...
I knew that I was on the right track because I had all my familiar tools...glue, water, scissors, brush...plus the added beauty of feathers...I was set to go...
Next up...the end result...
