CHAINED TORSO

Hello, today I bring to you my Chained Torso.

This month has been difficult for me,

then I looked at my chipboards and saw the chains and cogs and thought of my heavy wooden Torso

that I have had for a few years and suddenly knew what to make!

It has just been waiting for a project like this!

It stands about 48cm tall and made from wood.

I started by preparing with a Base coat of blackgesso .

After selecting my chipboard pieces from the Industrial Factory range.

And the Jolly Roger chains

I made them a bit wet so I could bend them. 

I then stuck them in place with gel medium and dried it all. 

When it was fully dry I painted it with black paint and added some more cogs to make the layers 3D

then adding some texture paste all over using cadence texture paste to give it more depth and shading. 

The products I used after are Lindy's silver spray and Finnabair White golden wax

It could represent the inner clockwork that keeps us ticking or the way we feel at the moment trapped in chains, with our inner cogs getting rusty from not being able to live freely? Or just a really nice Steampunk style piece of art with no hidden meaning!

I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed creating it

Alterowana puszka / Altered can

Cześć,

lubicie szprotki w oleju? Bo ja bardzo. Ale ja dziś nie o szprotkach, ale o tym co mi po nich pozostaje - puszce. Od pewnego czasu zostawiam sobie jakieś by móc coś z nich zrobić. I tak dziś jedna z nich została ukończona.

Hello,

do you like sprats in oil? Because I very much. But today I am not talking about sprats, but about what is left of them - a can. I've been leaving some for some time to be able to do something with them. And so today one of them has been completed.

Zacząłem od pokrycia puszki dwoma warstwami czarnego gesso. Kolejnym krokiem było wklejania warstwami elementów z tektury oraz z MDF-u i kolejno malowanie ich również na czarno. Postanowiłem wybrać tekturkowe zębatki i dodać do nich mocniejsze rury z MDF-u. Na wierzch oprócz napisu dodałem coś co od dłuższego czasu chciałem użyć - mały domek.

I started by covering the can with two layers of black gesso. The next step was gluing layers of chipboards and MDF elements and painting them in black. I decided to choose chipboard gears and add stronger MDF pipes to them. On top, in addition to the inscription, I added something that I wanted to use for a long time - a small house.

Całość po wyschnięciu postanowiłem powoskować. Zacząłem od wosku w kolorze miedzianym, którym pokryłem wszystko w miarę dokładnie, a na niego dodałem lekkie pociągnięcia wosku w kolorze emeraldowym. Na koniec dodałem nieco koloru pawiej niebieskości. Kompozycja nie jest zbyt rozbudowana, ale bardzo mi się podoba.

After drying, I decided to wax. I started with copper-colored wax, which covered everything quite thoroughly, and I added light strokes of emerald-colored wax on it. Finally, I added a bit of peacock blue. The composition is not very extensive, but I like it very much.
