The weekend coming into week two i got fixated on the idea of creating a 3D brain. I had planned a rounded out literal shape of the brain. So i commenced working on my idea, i decided to use sylicone as it was clean clear and because of the texture and gloop of the material. I borrowed a sylicone gun and bought some sylicone and got to work. I had to cut the spout(?) in a way that the sylicone would be the right size and shape for my brain.
Upon doing this i had one worry. I was afraid the material would stick to every surface so i used clear clingfilm (stretched to reveal no bumps) just incase it stuck. I was quite proud of myself as nobody could tell me what sylicone did not stick to... and so i discovered, sylicone does not stick to clingfilm... happy days!
I decided to make a second brain and when they both dried i was happy i made them on a flat surface because when i flipped them around to the flat side, there was a beautiful pattern revealed. This was a suprise and very happy it happened as it gave me an idea to try out some pattern work using some of my very enjoyable mark making.
