And it starts adding up to that 10,000 hours. Today, I did a diptych. Two 8x8" panels that I had scraped some gawd-awful art off of earlier this week (remember when I had a bad day and used the torch and scraper when it arrived in the mail)?
The panels cleaned up nicely, so I experimented with colored wax, taped off areas, and image transfers (gotta love those image transfers).
I put the panels right up against each other so they are "fused" together because the wax bridges them. It is a tentative connection. Not sure how long it will last. At least as long as I can keep the panels from flexing. I put a large binder clip on the back to hold them together. Optimal would be to hammer a piece of wood across them more permanently, but that might screw up the front.
Here is the whole piece:
and two detail shots.
