It indeed must be of some relief to you.

I...don't suppose you'd still be interested in creating paper mache at all?

[fabrefactions]

I still technically haven't done any for many years. It would be an interesting new medium to explore.

[blind_badass]

Do you have a place on campus where you practice art or a studio of some kind?

[He just feels that he needs to do this and once done, he can settle this nagging issue in his mind.]

[fabrefactions]

I'm usually at the art rooms at the college, when I'm not working. They have an extensive array of art supplies to use.

[blind_badass]

Would you mind helping me create something out of paper mache? Perhaps I could turn it into some kind of Christmas gift for my roommate and friend.

[fabrefactions]

What would you like to make for them?

[blind_badass]

Perhaps some kind of bowl with a raised design on the outside. It could hold candy or various things on our kitchen table.

[fabrefactions]

I see. On its own it might not be the most structurally sound, though. Or perhaps a little... haphazard, without some reinforcement and finalising of the design to neaten it up.

ART also love that icon

[blind_badass]

Oh, is that so? What would you suggest to make it both beautiful and structurally sound?

[He will go with the expert's opinion.]

ART! it's a nice one yeah \o/

[fabrefactions]

I believe there's something you can mix with the glue that gives it a smooth and shiny appearance - people use them when making their own masks? That may suffice, although if you are planning a fruit bowl I don't know if it can be ingested, if any transfers onto food.

[blind_badass]

Ah, all right. Perhaps not a fruit bowl as much as maybe a bowl to put various things and keys in.

Splendid. When do you think you have time available for such a project?

[fabrefactions]

That sound be doable, yes.

Hmm. I have a piece to finish and a commission to work on, but this is something that could easily be done in free time inbetween. The time will be extended by the drying period, from what I remember.

[blind_badass]

That sounds more than fair. I haven't been able to really get involved in art for a long time, so I'm looking forward to this project.

[fabrefactions]

You mentioned you are a musician when I have spoken with you before? Unless I am remembering incorrectly.

[blind_badass]

No, that would be correct. I play the harp and piano when I'm not working on my master's degree in physics.

[fabrefactions]

So, you have been working on other kinds of art then. Instead of the more traditional paint to canvas kind.

[blind_badass]

When put that way, yes I have been. I have heard that sometimes artists use music for interactive displays. I suppose that's the closest I'll get to painting.

[fabrefactions]

A lot of people paint to music as well. As in, literally paint the music - allowing the music to guide their brush, not visuals or inspiration that has been brewed and grown over time.

[blind_badass]

Oh? I hadn't realized that was actually a thing.

I suppose if you were also game for that in the future, we could certainly arrange something to see how you may be artistically inspired.
