This second week didn't got as planned,
That is alright tho. I tried to get in contact with Sofia; however, I have not received any information back yet. Sofia is the sister to one of my close friends mother. Its a little bit complicated. When I visited this family over the summer they told me they have a relative who helps make art portfolios for colleges, and that she would be willing to help. I thought this would be great idea and I have one hundred percent confidence they will get back to me.
In the mean time I decided to make some props for a few new photo shoots I plan to do with Makenna Jacobson, Jacob Strouf, and Deven Grant. Each photo shoot will have one individual model as the focus. So far I have made one crown and and am in the process of making another.
This is the shattered crown. It is still in the process of being completed. I had to shatter the mirror with my trusty meat mallet. I did this between cardboard to keep pieces of glass from going all over the place. Now I am hot gluing the shards onto a base covered in black cloth by hand. It can be tedious and a bit frustrating trying to make it look natural but its is coming along quiet well. I did this in my room and needless to say... I am not walking around barefoot any time soon.
Second is the Butterfly crown. This crown looks nice and pretty but was just as hard as the shattered crown. I had to cut the flower heads off and the leaves and then combine two wires to make a head piece that is comfortable for the model. Then I wrapped the wire in green tape to create a visual of the wire being a vine. I then hot glued the flowers on and used wire for the butterflies. I have made one other flower crown that I used in a series of photos called The Natural Man. Two photos are shown at the bottom of the blog.
Even tho I didn't get what I wanted out of the week it was not wasted. I have only a few shards of glass left in me but I'm sure they will come out. Thank you!
