Post for Friday, March 18:
This past weekend and week was spent finishing up my mirror nest (10 hours), crocheting one last larger nest (4 hours so far), adding more to the sheets nest (3 hours) and building the structure, filling it with nails and installing the clothing nest (11 hours). I also made a schedule for myself for the rest of the semester to have completed specific nests by certain dates, along with getting materials and supplies and photographing some of the nests.
By this coming Tuesday, March 22 I plan to have finished the clothing nest and installed on my wall (i've been experimenting with how to install it non-permanently, but am running into a few problems with trying to cover how i installed it because it is so heavy, ~4 lbs). I want to have it stay installed in place before i cover it all the way with clothing. I also want to have the mirror nest finished (I only have about 3 more pieces to glue down and then I need to find a scale to place it on-- from there I will decide if i want to place anything in the middle or leave it open for the scale to show through), and complete the last crocheted nest and fill them with sticks.
I also am going to the ReUse Center, Salvo, the PTO and other places to look for furniture this weekend. I want to have the furniture in my studio by Tuesday if possible. I really want someone to come with me to help me pick out the furniture. I wanted my roommate to come, however, she's been really busy studying for 3 exams next week, so I may be by myself after all.
well my weekend is pretty full ahead of me!
The nests look great. I'm excited to see both the mirror and the nail nest in person. Are they in the studio? Are you going to incorporate anything soft into the mirror nest? I know you were talking about adding shredded clothing to the nail nest- are you still going to do that?
ReplyDeleteI want to check in and see some things in person this week. Looking good! I'm glad you're being so productive.

No, they are in my room at home. I'm going ot photography the mirror one in my house in the bathroom on a scale before i transport it anywhere since it is so fragile. Same with the crocheted nests since they'll be so large. I was planning on doing the same with the clothing nest because I am finishing it as I install it. I got it to sit nicely on the wall... however I want some opinions before I completely finish it and photograph it. Should I try to bring it in? Or just photograph as is for input? Its hard to visualize when it isn't on a wall :/
