In Progress

Since Thursday I have prepared my objects to be cover in tin foil and clay. 

My idea for this project is a vase like form representing my great grandmother through pattern, material, and form.  My mom created a hat box out of handmade paper and my nana's costume jewelry which contains all the items from her wedding.  We also have a number of other things that were hers that I am looking at for inspiration. 

Tomorrow I will be finishing up tapping the box and cutting out the foam. 

This is the object I am casting for my box mold.  I was attracted to the pattern of on the 2 parts (epoxy glue the top and bottom parts today so they will be fully set by Tuesday).  I was thinking if for some reason the form as a whole didn't turn out how I was hoping I could still work with the patterns of the glass. 

This is my upright pourable mold.  This piece is also epoxy glued - the top and the bottom being separate pieces.  The patterning on these pieces also interested me. 

Here are small ceramic pieces I found at Goodwill that I was hoping to make small casts of and then graft onto the vase like shapes of the box and pourable mold forms.
