Sculptural Bases

["Beverley Wright" <Bev.Wright@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Linda,

You were kind enough to help me by pointing me in the right direction. I
hope I might now do the same for you. Wood has been suggested and I agree,
all sorts of base or support might be constructed to enhance the sculpture:
a chair for a seated figure, a bed / sofa / chaise longue etc for a
reclining figure ( another skill to be learned but with the modern glues
around nowadays all sorts of wonderful shapes and profiles can be laminated
 from thin veneers ( and they are very strong!))

After all that HERE is an idea for you, the next time you are at the
hairdressers, have a close look at the display stands for the smellies /
lotions etc. A goodly selection of acrylic blocks, stands and boxes are used
there that might well be used to enhance one of your pieces to good effect.
A bright clean shiny modern finish!, and if the ones you manage to obtain
should be a little tired / scratched ?, then scratch them some more and make
them FROSTED!?

Hope this gives you a few ideas
Regards, I'm still trawling through the FAQ's and gleaning lots of tips etc.
Tony
