I’m 52 today. Woke up and legit forgot it was my birthday until I received a few texts. Laundry, some reading, puttering about a bit with a sculpture, a doc about Jamie Wyeth, and ribs for dinner.

Ligotti is viewing Tarkovski’s Mirror and pondering the effect of dreams on our waking lives and memories. Giallo’s thinking a few explosions and bloodshed would liven up this yawn-fest.

I’m very pleased with how quickly the clay has dried. It also seems quite sturdy and up to sanding.

I feel most like an artist when I’m getting my hands dirty and making a mess. I covered my armature with a layer of the clay and currently have it hanging from living room ceiling, because of the boys.

I’m hoping by using it, I can keep the recipe simple, and avoid using materials like dry wall compound.
I definitely overtaxed my blender- there was smoke. So next time I’ll use a greater ratio of water to cardboard. I might let the cardboard pieces soak for a week to help them break down.

This is my first attempt at making cardboard clay from recycled cardboard, water, white glue, and grape seed oil. I’ve made paper clay before, with varying degrees of success. I’m interested in cardboard for its strength.

Alice and I visited Pasaquan today. Alice described it as a Crayola fever dream. I’m sure I’m not the first to use this analogy, but it fits- the farmhouse crashes, and Dorothy opens the door, and her world shifts from the muted sepia tones of Kansas to the vivid technicolor of OZ.

More Pasaquan. I took so many pics, but they really don’t do it justice.

I’m not sure why I waited years and years to watch The Color of Pomegranates. Every frame is an inspiration.

This is my first sculpture of ‘25. Early stages still. Not a giant sperm. I’ll be experimenting with making my own clay from cardboard. I’m excited about the possibilities.
