Have you ever been vindicated? Have you ever suffered so much that in the end, you got so used to the lies they told you, you start accepting them as your own truth?
It was a very intense week yesterday for me. On top of that, my suspicions for a very long time had always been right all along- that someone had been gaslighting me. I felt vindicated, I felt that the much awaited justice had finally been served.
I would probably be making pieces to commemorate this important part of my life. My journey of healing, of acceptance and recovery.
I chose day and night because, it perfectly embodies how I feel right now. Relief, but also the desire for justice. I feel vulnerable, I feel strong too. Its this conflicting emotions that I wanted to embody in the next few pieces that I will be making.
I started with a round, black slab- from my cheap clay supply.
So this was supposed to be a private creation. Creating this cat was done off cam cause I did not really intend to post this.
Anyhow, this is how I created the other cat.
I used marbling technique to create the colour.
From these clay. yeah, the cheap, sticky, OMG clay I had been using.
I know that I already showed you guys the final piece. But, its worth telling you that in this initial stage, I did started making the fur details. Because, its easier to access them rather than pile up the details and struggle to do that later.
Almost there....
Pre baking looks....
And this is the final product. I did use clear nail polish to seal and add a little bit of a shine on this.
