Revamping my altar - Part 02 (result)
Here is the link to part 01.
Hiya again, short of three weeks later,
So as I said in the previous post, I was in the process of remaking my altar. I finally received everything I needed and wanted to share the result :)
I decided the simply keep the statues white and add gold accents to switch things up a little. Repainted Artemis. Didn't touch Hekate because I still have this project to clay-model something special for Her (will have to wait till I have more free time towards the end of the month, hopefully...). Demeter I kept colorful, just because I'm still in love with it.
All new statues are 3D printed, which is not my fav material (I prefer plaster), it's pretty light, BUT I really liked the design and couldn't find them in plaster at a not exorbitant price. The Hermes one in particular is one of my favorite bust of Him.
I went with the allegory of sculpture of Klimt for my central artwork. First because I love this piece, and also because it has this mix of antiquity and modernity which I try to aim for in my practice. I managed to find a wood-printed one on redbubble so it's awesome because i was able to just put it there without damaging the walls.
I also organized my mess of incense collection in a box to avoid having dust everywhere.
I even found these amazing little candle receptacles (tbh i thing these are meant for tablewear) that look kinda antique, and they were pretty reasonably priced.
Also pretty happy I managed to find faux-pomegranate branches because it adds height a little colorful touch that goes well with everything else (plus the rich symbolism of pomegranate obviously).
Overall, I'm super happy with the result, I think it matches the way I feel pretty well. It will probably continue to evolve in the future since I like the idea of the altar being and live and changing thing.
