Texas Fetish Ball 2009

This year’s Fetish Ball did not quite have the outcome. First, my projects exploded into something bigger than just a couple of paintings and thus drained me of resources and time. The more my inspiration grew the more my faith that I would get the projects done on time waned. However I have a better understanding of the beast I created for myself. My faith in general that my projects will become something more than just garage shelf however are unwavering. I just need to nourish it longer :)

And avoid assholes who want to fuck things up for me.

Project #1

It started out with a mannequin I found on Ebay that I had fallen in love with. then my thoughts naturally twirled around the style of my logo and bringing it to life. The end result was the following;

1st project - Menstruosity 3D

It’s “supposed” to be the equivalent of a zen sandbox however it was rushed and looks quite the opposite. The paint was bought and used under another light than the true light and ended up being pink instead of red. The “shell” didn’t quite turn out as pink as I had hoped – my intentions were to use tissue paper layers over the mesh but I underestimated the drying time of the mesh material. The u-haul truck didn’t help with the sand unfortunately, either.

My plans for this piece is to revamp it, possibly starting over with the shell. Maybe that’s it, just the shell, theblack looks a little too childish to me…hmmm…

Project #2

What happened to the other half of the mannequin? Right here;

Project 2 - Start with some grass and wood..

Feathers and gold paint....

But I so love her lips..

I am definitely going to develop this project further, however it does need to be decided whether I will put it in that big box you see, or plant her in a vase/pot thing which I have yet to find one I liked.

Project #3

And last but not least, my smaller projects which might grow to a much larger collection;

This project will be displayed in a future post as I am properly creating and photographing the pieces.

What do you think?
