Dear friends -
this an experiment, an old idea that reignited today, when I entered a helping hand shop and left with this cheap coffee cup:
This cup does have everything I will need to change her in a baroque French multi-decker of the primeure rank superextraordineur. The name FASTUEUX enphasized the magnificent splendor and was (as far as I recherched) never used in history - so well it does fit the sun king's very special personality.
I will certainly "borrow" some ideas from @Hubac’s Historian and @Ab Hoving ...
In this project it is more to have fun and get something like handcrafting exercises and testing different material mixes - so this ship is a kind of caricature in pottery and a plenty of different ideas. So I will have to start with sanding the surface to get some grip onto it for my next nonsense to be added like (five or six?) layers of gundecks - and the opulent transom with sideparts and an attack on baroque decor even Pierre Puget would get affraid of as much too dizzy and giddy:
A typical south-german baroque rostrum (location to be figured out) with an overkill of putty and so on...
The cup will need some more wight inside to stand upright - time for sand and PVA!
So let's start something funny for some days!
Best wishes from the Berlin Card Yard,
Chris
