Ive been trying my hand at scrimshaw on pieces of corian. I found a kitchen place that assembles countertops from all sorts of materials . They get corian in sheets and hav tons of scrap. So I took some and was figuring out what to do with it and came up with an idea. Im thinking of doing a table top (mad out of an old treadle sewing machine and using a scrimshaw corian top . Or else Ill find some other thing to do with the stuff.
I knew that louise Nevelson and Ben Sahn were collaborators on a mural in NY. (It was later removed for its socialistic content) Does anyone know what this mural looked like? ANND, in her collaborations with Diego Rivera,does anything remain?
Farmerman, where I can I see some of your work?
I´ve been scrolling through this thread and you seem like one very interesting fellow.
Ive read about how some pastel artists do their own prepared grounds by using pumice (dust I assume) mixed with gesso and color. Anyone have any experience with this technique?
What kind of boards are best used to make a surface?
Is there a need for sanding after the ground is spread on the board?
Any safety protocols ? (outside of a dust mask ?)
