After a lot of stress and worry about the material we are going to use for the sculpture of our Big Ben tower we have finally found the perfect solution. Our first initial idea of polystyrene was unsuccessful as we mentioned in our previous post. We then thought of using Paper meche, however this would have taken a lot of time and made the gallery extremely messy. After searching the internet and many craft shops around Lincoln we found in B&Q some blocks of Selitac, which is usually used for under floor heating, this seemed perfect to use to make the sculpture. After research online and speaking to various shop assistants we found that the material is very handy to bend and carve and it also slots together easily! During tomorrows lesson (5th March 2013), we are going to attempt to make the Big Ben with our new material. If this does not work however it will be back to square one with materials. Although its a good learning curve for us trying many different materials to get the perfect one to make our performance as good as it could possibly be.
