structures

basic forms

the base panel have an irregular rectangular like shape they are postcard sized and partially pre-painted with (oil) pastels

cutting the panels

3 ways to cut with 3 cuts

• 3 straight,
• 1 triangle + 1 straight,
• 2 triangles.

the cut panels mounted into the basic c-shapes with coloured glittery hot glue

the intermediate shapes

mounting 2 basic c-shapes are assembled into

• big-C-shapes,

• S

  5-shapes,

• maybe 3

  E-shapes.

final figures

combine big-C-shapes and S

5-shapes into the final figures

• head to head,
• head into side,
• side by side.
  A head is a short sides of the shapes, the side is a long one.
  Potentially the shape can be connected over an edge and “diagonal” edge to edge.

painting

As the basic panels are pre-painted they receive a acrylic colours coting before the cutting. Maybe another repaint coting of the shapes after the mountings. In the next step curved lines patterns are prepared and filled in with opaque metallic colours. Transparent and semi-transparent metallic, shiny and glitter colours are applied into the gaps. Finally night glow colours finishes the painting.
