| Diver's Helmet Lamp, Craft Foam, Recycled Plastic, a Lamp Globe, and Wiring Kit, 2015 |
I recently took a sculpture class and made this as my final piece. The basic sphere is a lamp globe, with details made out of craft foam and my eternal favorite split loom tubing. I had been looking for an excuse to use copper reactive paint (Modern Master's Metal Effects), which contains actual copper pigment and thus weathers like the real deal. I am a huge fan, but fun fact: it never stops weathering. This was only a semester ago, and it's already mostly turquoise with only a hint of the coppery color underneath. That may seem like an obvious statement, but I was surprised how fast it developed patina.
