#plaster bust

In her very feminine bedroom Sister Parish used chintz from Sanderson for curtains, armchair, bed trim; bedspread chintz from Cowtan & Tout. In front of oval Adam mirror is a bust of Sister. Above bed is a tin candle bracket with porcelain flowers.

Not what I originally had in mind, but it’s now one of my favorite incense holders :)

I’ve been enjoying this shot of a work in progress.

Some work in progress pictures of a current project.

Mother Earth looking rather forlorn at what we humans have done to her. March 2022

I made this bust from plaster of paris on top of newspaper and a wooden post, formed with scrim and plaster. Her eyes are made with marbles which look like the Earth from space.

I made tiles by imprinting flower and seed heads and pine cones into clay and then pouring plaster into them. When they were dry I broke them into pieces and stuck them onto the bust and then coated them with copper powder covered with ammonium choride to turn it green.
