Bones and Glory Collection

This is my own art collection called bones and glory.
The theme for this was body adornments using body parts.
I wanted to use my love of weird and unusual things for this project and I thought, what would creep people out? And because im interesting in making jewellery, I thought this would all blend in nicely.
Half of my pieces are make out of air drying clay and the other half are made out of porcelain clay. I used porcelain clay because it turns a nice white colour and is light. I have found air drying clay harder to work with as it drys when your not even finnished with it and it cracks more. But because its on display and not moving, I put up with the clay.

I am very happy with how this all turned out.

Melting coffee ART

I havent been posting my art work for a while so I thought I would try and get back into it.
This is a piece called Melting coffee. I used moulds of my face and filled the moulds with coffee. I then froze the coffee in my freezer and then took the frozen coffee out of the moulds and recorded the melting process.
I love how the coffee slowly disforms the face, making it abstract looking.
