Monday 1st of June
I had a good weekend, but we are back in the groove this morning.
The mood of week 6 is starting good. I have a lot to do though and it doesn't get easier.
Over the weekend, I worked on the butterflies. Painted them, cut them out, and got them all prepared for today. I put together the mechanisms for the butterflies and created the body of the woodlice cutting out a new bottle. I painted them using some black gesso. I think I will need to do a second layer tomorrow.
I am finding out that I will still have to experiment with the butterflies mechanism. Whether to have the moving action on the same finger, or on the finger next to it.
I am happy about the speed of today. I feel like I can actually get theses done in the next three weeks before moving back to Cardiff. This is reassuring.
