Continuing with the test pieces Traces of Landscape

 Further exploring with the small extruded test pieces

I wanted to pour some resin into a frame and set my extruded pieces into that but I didn't have any to hand. Instead, I improvised by pouring some clear wax into a small frame with the test pieces placed inside. I wanted to see how this would look before using resin with my ceramic pieces. I poured a base coat first of clear wax, then placed the broken pieces on top, followed by more clear wax.


It did what it was supposed to do but I wasn't totally blown away by it. Once the wax had cooled down it started to shrink and started to come away from the frame So it wasn't very successful.

I want to use the vines I created on my previous page for my main piece. I wanted to create a simpler test piece to see how it will work. This link will take you to the process of my  paper cutting  for the lightbox. I am going to move forward with laser cutting my layers as it will cut the layers out alot cleaner and quicker than by me using a scalpel. I need to figure out how I will sketch up the different layers. I'm not sure how I will line up all the layers. Maybe I can use tracing paper so I can see how the layers line up.

I want to make the landscape I create, look over grown & hard to see things. I want the viewer to feel as though they are peeking through having to move their head from side to side to look over & under the vines.
