Using a very good lesson in how not to do things, I’ve spent the morning coating some of my paper objects in resin in the hope that it will strengthen them.
I hadn’t used the resin since last summer and the lid had sealed tightly shut. Absolutely nothing would budge it, so I had to resort to gauging a hole in the lid using a screwdriver. I then had to wait half an hour for the liquid to drip out… painfully slowly. Of course, I didn’t use gloves, so spent a further half hour trying to clean my hands. Note to self – if all else fails, use selotape!
I’m doing such a botched job because I can’t be bothered working. I want to spend my days off from work doing what normal people do, but I can’t.
I now have 260 paper planes for the Albert Dock exhibition ( 30 completed this morning, before I had even got dressed!) …… and 20 paper cones ( covered in resin!) ready for Bridewell . Three and a half weeks to go……..
