Moved the boxes from Malcolm's to gb05 yesterday. I photographed them, then I cut them up with Photoshop so that I could try different arrangements. I printed them in black & white & drew the figures on the prints. I will make some adjustments to the placement of the boxes as a result.
I also modelled the figures in clay--a useful exercise. I started with Plasticine because that's all I could find in my studio, but I ran out before finishing the second figure. Since neither Hobbycraft nor the school store had white Plasticine, I bought white 'air dry' clay. It turned out to be too hard to model comfortably & too soft to stand up under its own weight despite the wire armature. In the end I decided that the sagging quality suited the pose!
Finished Saturday 5th of May
