BRILLIANT!!
Love it!
I love seeing stuff that's a step away from the ordinary. They are certainly that! There's beautiful work out there. But as Gigi said, I haven't seen anything remotely as original as that in recent comps that I've checked out in mags or online. How well did they place, in that comp? Were they 'ready' for you?
Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing the other 'old' treasures you dig up:!::!:
Food for thought: in 1989, I was finishing highschool..... lol gosh, how times change!!
I got second (politics), the hinge on one pinkie cracked, (I made 8 of them on the floor, even the hinges were made from acrylic), the thumbnails squirted blood as the hands crawled across the table by themselves.
Many of my nail art pic have to be explained (as they actually do things).
Me explaining to the judges
I never wore many clothes back in those days
this one made a fountain (my garden of Eden) from the nails, the nails were normal, then the second tier was upside down, which flowed into an acrylic pond molded onto the nail (when this filled), it flowed down another upside down nail into a pond filled with ducks, lillypads, flowers and frogs all made from acrylic, (as the water bubbled the frog turned around on the lillypad) the overflow fed into another pond kinda like rapids), then the overflow from the second pond fed into a bucket and was pumped back up and into the nails . Live snakes at a nail comp and all I wore was a figleaf
the same thing presented on a mannequins hand.
My aim was to find different "uses" for nails, not just decorate them.
Got this idea sitting on the toilet (we had a marble floor) and I removed a slab just to take to the competitions.
