Fiona and I have been experimenting with cement. We have many ideas how we might use it in our art - as addition to outdoor pieces; as letters-words; and small sculptures.
We experimented with the letters over a month ago - but on Wednesday we decided to test some other silicone moulds we have purchased. The photo above is a faceted heart; and the photo below shows Fiona getting her hands well and truely dirty.
Following are some finished bits. The tiny house is a pencil-pen holder - very cute.
I excavated a rusted metal peace dove out of the cube of cement - releasing peace? It was bit off centre but another lesson learnt.
Today I attached the word love and a heart to a cube of timber - more lessons learnt on how to attach the cement letters to the timber.
Whilst waiting for glue to dry I mixed a small batch of cement and filled a few moulds - including the tiny house, hearts and new pebble moulds.
I love peeling the silicone back to release the cured cement. Now we know how it works we will get into a bit of production I think.
Interesting.

ReplyDeleteWonderful! Oh the possibilities!
ReplyDeleteP, MC and J - thanks for checking out this bit of creative madness - always grand to be testing the possibility of new mediums. Go well. B
