and Me!
It was beautiful, really.
We spent the morning building the body with wire, aluminium foil and masking tape. Then we took a break for lunch at Oudom Thai right next door to the MDCA where we had an interesting time and experience with some new foods. There were a few first time Thai eaters, and Regine treated us all to fried cheesecake, which I had never had before. Oudom does it in such a nice way, it was fabulous, but I think I'll try and avoid it. So bad! But, oh, so good!

After lunch we came back and used Powertex, a textile hardener that comes in beautiful natural colors...white, green, grey, red, terracotta, etc. to create the covering and drapery of the sculptures.

I loved this medium and hope I can explore the many other ways to use it. It seems limitless, really. I'm so proud of my girl, I love her so!
