I cut the legs a bit more up in the armpit, otherwise they were going to be ‘absorbed’ by the Frogicorn’s torso, without the limbs having a clearly defined shape. It was a balancing act though, as if I cut too far up, I wouldn’t have enough space (about half a cm, ideally), outside the…

Frogicorn
The creature in how he swims. He sort of doggy paddles, kicking with the short, back legs. Sewing together the bridge of the navel, between the eyes. This is so that the eye/kind of like the toad eye flaps, don’t go over the nose, in a sort of elongated unibrow shape. Essentially gives the eye…
Printmaking – Resolved work – Reflections
Whilst this turned out messier than hoped, I am happy with what I’ve learnt and the hours of dedication over 6 months I’ve invested in learning about the art medium, in my printmaking journey. As the adage goes, you have to start somewhere, and I am happy that I tied this to a theme close…
Wearable Sculpture using Cooking Utensils ‘Edible Wearables’
Originally, this idea started out with a few pieces of cooking equipment, including those shown above. I was originally going to try to attach parts of smaller cooking equipment, often for baked goods, to the cookie cutter, to form decorative bracelets. However, after viewing the wearable art on prazzleinc I challenged myself to take…
Sun and Moon Exercise – Sculpture 2
Hi, wasn’t sure if it was relevant, but this was two reflective exercises, early on, when I was initially hoping to complete a weather/nature based topic for the sculpture, using the fluff material and heshin / bandage material. I completed both poems, as a sort of brainstorming exercise of what concepts, ideas and qualities in…
Sculpture 2 Resolved work – Talisman
I accidentally forgot about the Rainbow talisman that I originally designed, as a necklace. I decided to adapt it, to be composed of metallic colours, rather than the traditional ROYGBIV combination of colours in a real-life rainbow. I thought this would reflect on the magical qualities of the Frogicorn creature. The colours used are: sparkly…
Assessing Sculpture 2 Resolved work Progress – View on Human Body
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….
Experimentation with materials for Sculpture Resolved Work 2 – Going back to Initial design, with Paddle- Pop Sticks
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…
Experimentation – effects of paint and colour on materials, for Sculpture Resolved work 2
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,…
Experimentation – Sculpture Resolved work 2 Trialling different effects on arm
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…
