They are not just images. These small photos are mounted onto 100 year old pieces of wood from the Standing farm. Soon to be sealed in resin. *Time Capsules* for my installation *Land of Gold* for this years Stampede ARP.

The mold
All set to start pouring resin pendants tomorrow for this summers Stampede. I spent the day carving and squishing wax to create molds that would be used as a form for pouring resin jewelry pendants. The forms seemed to slide into the shape I wanted quite easily but they were not smooth enough for the forms. I heated up an element on the stove and used a cookie sheet as the flat surface I needed to melt the edges of the form. It took a few test runs but I figured out how to hold the forms so they would dry properly without drying with melt bubbles on parts of their surfaces. I love learning something new and pushing the brain to figure out the nuances of materials I am not familiar with.
One more to go!
At the end of the heating/smoothing process the kitchen smells like I have been waxing skis!
Smoothing wax molds for Stampede pendants
Playing with fire!
Today, instead of painting, I spent the afternoon with my friend and fellow Roaming Artist, Laurie Casat playing with enamel and fire. So fascinating to explore.
