This project is awesome. I adore you.Anonymoustag:dayonedesign.net,2011:earthen-sculpture-on-the-ithaca-commons/1314263104/1070272009-06-11T18:22:38-07:00Wow I was just looking at it today then bumped into it on the internet as I was looking at sculptures on the interwebs. It's really kick-ass -reminds me of a sculpture I saw in San Diego did you do one there too? Very inspiring, thank you so much! :)Alexandrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08977823100558729608tag:dayonedesign.net,2011:earthen-sculpture-on-the-ithaca-commons/1314263104/1070332009-06-30T18:01:20-07:00This work is very inspiring, reminds me of Gaudi in some way. I would be very interested to know which material was used to seal the mosaic, is it natural plaster? I Was wondering if it will resist natural elements, as it is staying outside. Congratulations, I can't stop going back to your websites and blogs, very inspiring!erica annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00363749921277915733tag:dayonedesign.net,2011:earthen-sculpture-on-the-ithaca-commons/1314263104/1070342009-07-14T09:20:36-07:00yes, i used a natural grout: clay, sand, very fine chopped straw and linseed oil. Normally, I would use the linseed oil at about 1% of the total mixture, but here I pushed it a bit, probably closer to 5%. Once it was totally dry, I did another top coat of straight linseed oil. The sculpture show only goes until Novemeber, so I am not too worried about it, but it will be interesting to see how it fares the Ithaca winter.Alexandrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08977823100558729608tag:dayonedesign.net,2011:earthen-sculpture-on-the-ithaca-commons/1314263104/1070352009-07-20T11:50:14-07:00thank you!John Edhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09287633846307386936tag:dayonedesign.net,2011:earthen-sculpture-on-the-ithaca-commons/1314263104/1070362009-07-21T11:27:42-07:00Your work is beautiful!
