This is no excuse, of course, but I find myself rather busy withe the play rehearsals and shows coming to a close. Once it is done, I will have much more free time and actually make some progress on this sculpture. I have plenty of materials and hangers.

My parents have begun to get annoyed at the rising pile of non-recyclables in the kitchen and have pressured me to begin planning out my design. I have the metal hangers, but I'm still unsure about a few things. For instance, the size of the sculpture, but even more pressing is how I am going to attach my materials to the frame. In the beginning, I thought I could spear the objects with the hangers, but that isn't possible for most of them. For quite a few of them I'd be able to slip a hanger under their wrapper, but that's rather unreliable. Duct tape is always an option, but would look unbearably tacky, and I still want this to at least slightly resemble art (any suggestions are welcome). The head is a whole other story. I'm using milk gallons, and I don't know if I should simply strap about 4 together, or try and cut them open to mold them a more circular shape and risk wasting materials. I'm still not sure how to make them stay after a mold them. I have to keep in mind that many of these materials are clear, and almost any adhesive would be visible. It might be difficult making a frame this weekend without all the details sorted out, but the good thing about coat hangers is that they're flexible, and if my plans change, they can also change. I can, at the very least, get an idea of its size.
