i got plastered! while making my third luminary mold today, i got completly messy when my plaster started pouring out of the bottom, from underneath the slab that the mold was resting in, if that makes sense. everywhere. stop. must clean immediately. you can save nothing. it is now about damage control.
oh well, it happens. i cleaned up and thought originally that i might just get back on that horse, but i was exausted. definitely not ready for it to potentially happen again, although i think i know how to stop it now. nope. went home and took a shower, got in my pajamas and did some yoga. i was sore. then some friends called and i met them out for dinner and had a margarita and now i feel much better. not that i was all that bummed, but it took a lot out of me for some reason today.
i did manage to take a picture of my feet and floor all messy. i do like getting messy. wish i could have grabbed the camera while it was all happening...doesn't really look all that bad here...
i also am adding a picture of some of the luminaries i have been making...
and another.....
these are handbuilt from slabs and textured...the one here is slightly translucent and glows when lit. it was a mold for these babies that i attempted to make when the previously mentioned disaster occurred. not to fear, i'll be back and ready to tackle it on monday.

Love the new luminaries--and I think you're right-on about production work. After all, a single creative person made the prototype from his/her own talent-what's wrong with that person re-creating it??
plaster disaster...i know that term well. love the new luminaries. would love to see a pic of them lit up.
