Cat Form #1 is covered is chicken wire. Took me about 18-20 hours. Sheesh!
Lots of blood was shed, lots of swearing was heard. Luckily I worked during the week days while there wasn't a lot of folks in the shop.
Next up - drywall papier-mâché! We will slather the mesh with two rounds of newspaper/brown paper bags (bring brown paper bags if you have extras!) and drywall mud to finish the shape of the cat. The drywall mud is fire resistant which makes it perfect to tack weld the metal as we sculpt the cat.
We also have lots of wire wheel work to clean the metal we'll be using to create decorative and structural elements in each sculpture. We could start tackling the weed overgrowth in the storage yard by spraying a natural weed killer mix of vinegar, epsom salts and original Dawn dish soap. Lots to do!
