One-a-Week Three: 4:30pm

One-a-Week Three: 4:30pm, originally uploaded by kaitschott.

Liver of Sulphur wouldn’t co-operate, so I went with a heat patina.

Not the dense shiny black I was hoping for , but nice nonetheless, I think.

Both shapes are mounted on simple pin backs. The pins are causing them to tilt on the background, so the shapes don’t appear to match as closely as they really do.

Check in at the photoset for process shots and play-by-play, which I’m working on right now.

Check back here tomorrow for a wrap-up and better photos, including some of the pieces being worn.

P.S. Did I mention that next weeks self-imposed deadline will be 5pm? If I had either, a) not posted here and at Flickr or b) not eaten, I would’ve been done by 3pm. Both options do not seem desireable.

One-a-Week Three: the value of ritual

One-a-Week Three: everyones going to work, originally uploaded by kaitschott.

I thought I might not post until three, but rituals help keep me moving. So for the morning skyline, my morning coffee, and the state of my work table, head over to Flickr.

Stay tuned….

One-a-Week-Three: ahead of my game

One-a-Week-Three: refining the drawing, originally uploaded by kaitschott.

Using a lightbox to get the drawing to size, fill up all the available space, and to tweak the details.

Well, I’m already doing better on my goal of spending more time earlier in the week, so I can tweak the design more. No Plan B, no being distracted by another idea that I’ll try ‘if I get time.’ I think I’m over those delusions, but maybe I just lucked out this week.

After coming home from work last night, late, at least 10pm, I futzed with the drawings some more, mounted them on the copper, and started sawing them out. About 12:45, I was too tired and hit the sack. I can’t remember the last time I worked on something after work, I’m usually too tired after 9 hours plus the commute. I don’t know if it was a particularly innocuous day at work or just being excited about the challenge. Either way it was great to defy my usual routine.

I don’t want to be over-confident and commit to a lot of posting over at Flickr, but there will be some throughout the day, as well as a brief update or two here.

Stay tuned….
