December with Ann Sutton OBE

Today was a lot of experimenting. I was testing differing materials over and over again. One day one of the experiments will click, then it shall be worth all of the time spent. I finished transferring the plastic scanes. We had a lot of fun today.

Continued experimenting. I am enjoying the freedom of this. I worry if I was to do this within my own work I wouldn’t make enough money to cover the hours spent experimenting. However, in Ann’s case that is exactly what people like about her work. It’s always something new and never done before. So it’s worth spending the time now, as she will reek the rewards once pierces go up for sale.

Today we had a lot of fun trying to work out how to use a battery caulking gun. At first it didn’t work very well. We soon realised it was because we used an open filler tube, the contents had become very hard. Using other unopened and in date fillers it started working. It is difficult to ensure you keep a steady line, but something we will get used to. It was a lot of fun trying to problem solve.
