Extensions to harness. 1 and a 1/2 hours work by Morag on 8th September 2004. Extension of the arm spike - forearm work and discussion on routing round the elbow...

Extensions to harness. 1 and 3/4 hours work by Morag on 30th April 2004. Have formulated some more design ideas for the extension of the arm spike...
9th July 2003
Extensions to harness. I have now decided that I am most likely going to have the main design gunned in in outline so that the 'shape' is complete (not counting the second arm spike which is going to take a lot of prep work and redraws) then the fill done at the end (perhaps small bits of fill as we progress, depending on the session)

The two pieces above are rough drawings of the Arm Spike and the first section of the extension to my back piece (click thumbs for new window with slightly larger rough drawing)
The arm spike has a gap because it has to accomodate the existing arm band - basically it should run from the bony bit on the top of my shoulder down round my tricep to just above the elbow. This leaves the forward part of my bicep free if I choose to create another spike running backwards and hooking round underneath my elbow to my forearm.
The section of the back extension will go on between the existing backpiece and my right-hand-shoulder (the right-hand-shoulder is where the arm spike is going)
Pictures to follow once its done on the 16th/17th April
My Existing Back Piece and Pec Piece
These are the existing parts of the 'harness' project.
The image on the left is the central piece on my back (see further down for a more general image showing its placement). I think I must have had this done around March or April 2001. At that point although I wanted to have a major piece of work, it had not yet formed, in my mind, part of what I now think of as the harness. Morag did this piece in just over 2 hours, with no breaks. I had thought at the time that getting work on the spine would hurt more than normal, but it really wasn't any different from what I had already experienced.
Over the summer of 2001 I began to formulate the idea of what was later to become the harness and got the pectoral piece gunned in on the 23rd of December 2001. Note the repetition of the circular icon in both pieces. This one also took about 2 hours (just under) but did in fact hurty hurty.
I will explain more about what is happening with the harness once some more of the work has been completed

Some General Shots
Other Work I have done for people
Design I did for Dave (work by Morag).
Design I did for Elaine (work by a New York ink slinger called Andrew) (apols for the crap photo)
Design I originally did for myself many years ago... decidely I wasn't ever going to do it... redesigned it slightly and gave it to Chemo
