I thought it important to check in to how the sculpture is looking on the human body. Its impact is mean to be a sort of exoskeleton….

More detailed notes on this process in PDF of sculpture visual journal. This shows the adapted paddle pop stick design I opted for, rather than the ‘single line’ I chose to do 2 x lines of paddle pop sticks, and also adapted the design, so that each ‘bone line’ was double layered. That is, each…

At this experimentation, I then trialled in what design and impact I wanted the paint to have on the upside down muffin cases. I ultimately decided I preferred to stick with painting the inner circle of 3, and combining this with 7-8 outside lines, like sunbeams. Please refer to sketch of designs, to be attached,…

The initial design used paddle pop sticks and the bandage material. However, out of curiosity, I wanted to do a bit of experimentation about creating sort of fluff cuff bracelets, using leftover foam from the earlier sculpture resolved work. They were hot, but I was curious about working with this very different, contrasting, almost polar…

As described in PDFs noting thoughts and observations during different stages, and processes, this is a male Frogicorn. In habitat, he is shown. The magical creature, Frogicorn, inhabits bank areas near large bodies of water – namely dams, and rivers, in Australia. This is As also described in PDFs, the male Frogicorn creates a nest,…

I created two large fans, and one smaller fan for in the middle, and joined them together. Originally, this concept was designed as a set of bird wings, however felt that this didn’t suit the ‘more grounded’ Frogicorn. The fans are more decorative plumage – like a peacock’s. I created the fan using an $8…

I must admit I was initially hesitant to put plastic eyes on him, fearing it could make him look like a teddy bear. But, I think the eyes (and I’m glad I picked red) really brought him to life….

Finishing the upper arm back-stitching on the Frogicorn’s right arm. For size perspective, the kitten decided she needed to add her paw in this shot.  As seen in bottom fourth image, I tested out whether the creature could sort of sit propped up on the front right arms. The idea was that he would sort…

This is after cutting out designs and beginning the stitching process. Top left photo shows the formation of Frogicorn’s long, front right arm (viewer’s left), after the formation of the two, bottom feet. The bottom two legs are shaped like an elephant’s, as they carry the majority of the creature’s weight. Please see more information…
