I was so close to finishing the lung project this week! I would have finished if I had another hour to work. It was hard to leave and go to my next class. But I got so much done this week and am so excited. I started deforming the bottles with the heat gun, and was so pleased with the look. After some trial and error I determined that the best way to give the bottles a gray/black look was to paint on them with black acrylic paint and add a lot of water so it wasn't too dark. Then I started working on the veins, which was the tricky part. I wasn't really sure how to put wire inside the bottles and make them really resemble veins. I ended up putting wire inside them anyway, and put some on the outside, too. The last thing I did this week was start putting everything together. I cannot wait to see the final result next week.
