I was tidying up stuff on my WordPress drafts folder and found this post I’dnever finished, so I thought I’d share it now, more for the sculptures than anything else.

What do you do with old dishwashing bottles once they’re empty?

Well, if you’re like me and see womenly shapes, you make sculptures of naked ladies out of them.

Each naked lady has her own shape, just like women do. I made these to look like broken greek statues… I mean, when in Greece…

I made these using dishwashing liquid bottles as the base, then built up the shapes using home made papier pulp and air dry clay. They’re all a little rough, with natural looking textures, and they vary in size according to the bottles I started with.

I love my naked ladies. Most of them have been placed in my cousin Zefi’s air b’n’b as decor for the time being. There’s only so much room at home for me to display stuff, and so far I haven’t been able to find the right venue to sell them.

As you know, I’m working on that… whether I should continue trying to open a FB/Instagram shop, or whether I should just try to sell through FB and Instagram in a more casual way – I’m having so much trouble with setting up a shop that I’m seriously leaning towards just starting to post stuff with dimensions, descriptions and a price and see what happens…

Maybe I should have ‘ZefiArt/Junk4Joy parties’ at home and display and sell stuff that way… It would mean I’d have to move almost everything into my bedroom temporarily so that I can display stuff all over the living room and kitchen, on the bookshelves, kitchen table, the couch, coffee tables and side tables… every inch of wall space…

What do you think?
