Marilyn #9

Before application of heat.
With the 12 Marilyns expected in Almonte at Foodie's Restaurant in mid-September, I am working at completing them. I am concerned about what sort of grid to hang them from and a friend suggested chicken wire enclosed by a frame. I think that this will work just fine.

At dusk, I went out to the garage/workshop and tried to melt a keyboard with crayons on it from underneath. I quickly spray-painted a beige keyboard pink with mauve edges and then set it up on a grid supported by two bricks. I balanced the heat gun between two more bricks but this did not work. I wanted to see a subtle pattern formed by the crayons melting slowly but the heat was insubstantial.

After heat was applied.
I'll do more work to this board and improve it tomorrow.
