Fill in the blank

Hello all,
It's been a busy coupla weeks. Getting settled in my new place with a whole room for a studio.
But I found time to get to the last part of the latest piece.


I had finally figured out what needed to be in the last circle.




This is the start to the finish.
See ya'll tomorrow -
peace and love

Fill In

hello everyone,
Hope the sun is shining where you are.


I'm starting to go back and fill in details over the large base forms.


I have added some piping below the 'engine'



and some above.

Have a great day!

Making it to the other side

Hi ya'll,
Hope all is well in your world.


This is the part that I know I'm gonna make it - when I get to the other side of the box.


There are a lot of strange things going on here and I have worked and reworked this section more than any other.


But now I'm starting to feel good about it.
see ya later
Peace and love

More Gears

Hi Everybody,

It seems like this part is starting to get easier.



Here's a close-up of the details that have been added.



And I have added more gears to the main one.

Don't know where it's going next.
Have a great day

The Next Element

Hello People,
The weather has been so great lately that it's hard to force myself to stay inside and work. I have been getting stuff done tho.


I figured out how the new element should attach to what I have so far.


I put a platform under it and have done a lot of little details, braces, and piping.

See ya'll later. Enjoy life!
peace and love

Adding On

Hi folks,
Hope you are having a great week.
The Mantra Flower piece was at the Last Friday Art Walk in Eugene.
Now I'm getting ready for Atlanta FolkFest.


I'm feeling out what goes next.


Trying out several pieces. I want to connect this element to what I have so far.

Will see how it comes out in the flow.
peace and love

Buzzing Along

Hello folks,

It's been a great week. I'm coming along on the new machine piece.


I have put a lot of details on the first element - now that I know where I want it.
I'm starting to get a feel for where the parts will go


I found a lot of neat plastic parts to add to the piece that I got at MECCA
it is Materials Exchange Center for Creative Arts here in Eugene. They have a lot of neat stuff to reuse for art projects.


The silver 'grill' is the plastic guard from a set of clippers - it fit just right on the platform I built above the first element.

See ya later
peace and love, Haint

Details

Hello people

I've been busy adding all sorts of details to the basic elements.


And trying out some combinations.

I'm working on some gauges and valves for this one.


Have a great day!
Peace and love

Elements

Hi Ya'll
Had a great week last week.
The last piece - Mantra Flower - will be in the Eugene Last Friday's Artwalk.


I'm making a lot of different elements to put in the machine box.


I don't know how they will fit together yet.


I like this one and I think I will put it in the middle.
See ya later
Peace and love

Machine Box

Hi Ya'll,
I took a couple of days off to enjoy the weather and local events.
Now I'm back to working on a new box - I'm doing a machine piece this time.



The first element.



Experimenting with arranging forms.

See ya later. Have a great day!
peace and love

Wired

Hello folks,
I have made a variety of sizes of piping for this project.


A refillable glue pen is handy for small work.


I used some small plastic beads as part of the machine, cleaning the paint out of the holes.


Black wiring adds a nice contrast to the silver.

Well that's all folks - for today.

Peace and love
Haint

Details

Some close-ups of the detail work.



I haven't 'rusted-up' many of the nail-heads yet and there is still some touch-up here and there.



The pictures are a good tool to see what needs doing to make it more realistic.

Peace and love
Haint
