Today, after finishing up my proposal, I researched materials. I have been looking at different types of polymers that I might want to explore playing with and also different types of pourable silicones and resins. I think this weekend I am going to start playing with some common polymers - mainly fimo clay just to get a feel for the materials. I'll see how I feel about it after a few experiments. I also want to test out next week with making some containers in metal (probably copper) then making the interior a different material or at least texture than the exterior. I think I will try to accomplish this with flocking or possibly some sort of patina which I will do more research on soon.
So, today was spent doing materials research, but I really just need to get working on stuff. I think my personal goal is to make 5 experiment/samples by the end of the month - a simple container in metal, some form experiments in polymers, some doming experiments (hopefully) in metal, and maybe something else?
