This is 'crumple' origami. Used a lot by French origamists 'Le CRIMP'.

Thin, crisp paper (here tracing paper) is folded and then crushed. The process allows the paper to be shaped into flexible, organic forms.

This paper was coated in cyanotype. The form I made was exposed in the sun for 10 minutes, and developed.

If I hadn't put my fingers through the wet paper it would be good!

Well, I ruined that. Maybe if I keep adding stuff, it will get better.

I still think it's kinda pretty.

A rejection today.

Rejections in art are hard. Most applications fail. There were 186 applications for this single residency.

Applications are days of unpaid work for no reward.

Not even feedback.

Feedback would help.

A reason. Something to build on, to improve next time.

But nothing.

A while ago, I put the excuses I'd received for no feedback into a picture.

It was cathartic.

'Here's Your Fucking Feedback'.

Found out later that alcohol ink is very toxic and you should not finger paint with it like I did in this video. I definitely had alcohol ink all over my hands. I did a very reckless thing because I didn't bother to research. I almost want to take this video down but it's my only video getting views so now I feel like a bad person for wanting to keep it up.

Pattern and chaos.

Here's the crease pattern in paper for John Montroll's Dimpled Snub Cube.

And then there's the chaotic failed collapse of it into a 3D shape.

I've folded these before, and it's an interesting fight, wrestling a sheet of paper into form.

Practice makes polyhedra.

Sometimes things fail.

I've been trying to get back into origami practice with John Montroll's - 'A Constellation of Origami Polyhedra' (https://johnmontroll.com/books/a-constellation-of-origami-polyhedra/).

Using 75 cm squares of tracing paper made it harder - wrong paper for these models.

The crease patterns are beautiful - this is for a Sunken Cuboctohedron. But I've failed to fully fold them into 3D shape.

But it's OK. Sometimes things fail.

Giving up with this one, didnt have photo reference so trying to do it from my heard just isnt working #artfail #MastoArt #acrylicPainting #wineglass #wine

Des fois, ça ne se passe pas comme prévu (vraiment pas 😂). Je ne sais toujours pas ce qu'il s'est passé.

Oui, vaut mieux en rire oui.

Du coup, je propose le #ArtFail pour extérioriser tout ça, si vous voulez partager vos pires échecs, c'est ça aussi la création !

J'ai passé deux jours à préparer une trentaine de bijoux, et sans aucune raison, tout a brûlé 😌

J'imagine que la raison, c'est mon four, mais je suis dépitée là.

I bought some cheap watercolour cardstock hoping to paint them quickly and sell them for a few dollars each at a local music festival.

They are not up to the task. They came out of the package with damaged corners. Also they don't appear to be watercolour paper at all, they're just card.

Here's an update on my attempt to make myself a coffee mug. It's... adorable, and not at all what I expected. So here are the things I learned:

- Stuff comes out of the kiln way smaller than when it went in
- Glaze is strange science and the colour going into the kiln has no bearing on the colour of the finished thing

I'll take another kick at this soon, but for now I guess I could take up an espresso habit.

Okay, time for an #ArtFail. I've been working on the sky on @the_goat_path's painting for weeks now and I am just painting and re-painting the same damn patch of sky until it's grey mush and I'm struggling to get out of it. Some days painting is easy. Some days, not so much. So here's we're at right now. I'll break through it, I know, but it's frustrating tonight. #artist #painting #AcrylicPainting #stuck #nature #sunrise #photographyart

Don't do this for real thanks ✌️
