Only Monday

It's only monday but I feel like i've been working for a week already. Since I slept a bit long today and I have alot of stuff I want to do this week, so I decided to do as much I as could today. For starters I tried to make another wax form of the Takamatsu head bust (which unfortunately didn't work out). After that I selected and adjusted some of the pictures from last summer for screenprinting. I got 6 of them printed on transparent film and exposed 4 of them over 2 different screens. I booked a printing slot on Wednesday so I will already be printing some this week. After that I went back to the casting room to work on the head busts that did work out. I am adding some air vents and a pouring cup to get ready for casting. I know it looks a bit strange but imagine that it is going to be captured in a mould and everything that is green/wax will be melted out. This means that the thin lines will form narrow tunnels for the air to escape so I don't get airbubles in the piece itself (which will show up as holes in the bronze).

So I guess it was a quite short but productive day.
