Post for Friday, Feb 10
This week was more of a work in progress week. I continued working on the sheets next (6 hours), but still have a ways to go. My goal is to have this next done by the end of next week. I am still toying with whether or not I want to destroy the inside padding (which resembles a mattress) or leave it soft and "comforting." I spoke with Janie about it on Tuesday and we decided it best to finish the nest with out doing anything to the pad and then decide based on intuition afterward.
Also this week I spent time toying with images I already had of some of my nests for postcards (3 hours), however, I want to continue working on them. Today I took some more photos (1 hour) I want to try on the cards before I post a final few to pick from.
This weekend I plan to start another nest as a mini break from my sheets nest and use a broken/shattered mirror. This nest will be medium size to start closing the gap between differences in size I currently have.
I'm looking forward to seeing your postcard images. I'm also looking forward to seeing the mirror/ powder paste mirror. Glad you're finishing the large nest- I can't wait to see it after the weekend. Do you know what's inside the cushion? When I was looking at it in the studios, I didn't even recognize it as a comfortable place because the wiring it sticking out all over the place- I honestly didn't notice the cushion as a texture, I just saw the pattern and thought it was going to be covered. I'm thinking it might be nice to have a soft/downy texture that would be inviting despite the wires sticking out? I agree you should wait and see how you feel when you've built up the sides- just see how it feels.
