Metal, Paper and Wax
This month, I've been studying metalworking: welding, plasma cutting, bending and heat coloring. My sister Jody has been helping me, and I think we have a really cool set of prototype lanterns that will be finished in a week or so.
This week we'll create encaustic monoprint 'cones' that will flare out from the tops of these shells. And we'll build the lamp bases that will hold the bulbs. Even though we think we know what these lanterns will look like when they're done, we've already been surprised a few times during the process. I'm sure the end result will be 'interesting' in any case! You'll have to wait to see the final results. These photos are before and after the heat-coloring process. There's also a short video of me applying the coloring.
