Elemental Boxes #1&2

These boxes are different shapes and color schemes from the previous entries, but the process is relatively the same. The pyramid got "earthy" colors in abstract patterns. It looks "wetter" and drippier than I intended, but the basic idea was to look as if it had been exposed to outdoor weather for a few thousand years. I tried to make the "water" box rippled by taping hemp twine to it before paper mache, but that didn't work very well. I compensated in the paint by using circular items to stamp bubbles on and put some wave foam around the edges with sponges.

Vase 3?

Paper Mache Guitar Amplifier Cabinets

I had some heads from practice amps and some speakers floating around and decided to make something of them. I made the small one first and then the large. I was going for a late '80s early '90s style with the painting. The small one has drips and splatters of primary colors (red, blue, yellow) and the large is secondary colors (green, orange, purple). Had I thought ahead to doing 2, I would have used one small speaker and one large speaker in each to make a matching set to use in stereo. I would also have glued together double layers of cardboard because the sides of the larger cabinet bent outward and were a pain to get flat again.
