Hi, I'm Dorota Freitag from Kreatywnie.com.
Today I have for you powertex sculpture in stone art technique.
I had so much fun doing this :), I hope you can see it.
Pottery works inspired me.
"Open head" is quite common motive in pottery.
So I tried to interpret it using powertex.
I need 2 styrofoam "cakes".
Diameter 30 cm and the smaller 17 cm.
I cover the smaller "cake" with foil and plaster bandage. I put it at first in water.
The aluminium foil doesn't stick to plaster and protect the styrofoam.
The plaster will be dry and hard in a few minutes. It builds a stable base for stone art and powertex.
Now I am cutting the bigger "cake". It will be the body.
I work directly on metal footing.
I have to prepare the neck. I am forming it from aluminium foil.
I check the length and cover the neck with paper tape.
I use the same tape to connect the neck with the body.
I used the blue tape, which is not the best. It is too plastic and the yellow one is better.
The yellow paper tape sticks better to powertex.
Now I need the bluish grey powertex to make some stone art clay.
Buy the way - the cat didn't drink the powertex :)
He just loves the camera.
I added some stone art powder to make the clay.
I am covering the styrofoam base with the bluish gray powertex.
I also cover the neck with the stone art clay to hide the tape.
I am creating some stone structure.
The head is dry, so I can cover it also with powertex.
Be sure, that the plaster is not wet - use hair dryer if necessary.
I am forming and sticking chin, nose, cheeks, eyes and mouth.
This is the face.
The stone art clay will be shrinking by drying, so use bigger forms.
Now I am using the stone art powder to create the stone effect.
I am using the brush to connect the powder with the clay and powertex.
I am doing the same thing with the body.
I am using the brush because it is not dry and stable.
I am connecting the head with the neck using the clay and wet powertex as glue.
Now I can remove the styrofoam "cake".
I am also removing the foil to let everything dry.
I would like to dress my sculpture. I found interesting net.
After it is dry I can paint it a little bit with mineral paint.
I chose the elegant rose, because I would like to decorate the head with roses.
At the end I painted the head inside with the powertex. I want to be sure, that the construction will be stable.
I have to create flower decoration in the head.
Thank you very much for your time.
