This week I have been trying to finalise my big sculpture - it has been a physically and emotionally exhausting but rewarding week.

I used the tools above to finish all the fine details I could put in. I tried using solid beeswax to make highlights to certain areas to draw attention, but after applying a small amount on an off-cut, it didn't create the effect I desired. When I asked Jon for advice on what to do, he said it would provide an effect similar to furniture polish and make it look too modern if I wanted to keep the worn rustic effect I have made, so I abandoned that idea.

After taking a moment to appreciate how far I had come with my sculpture, I sketched out some rough ideas of where I wanted to put the coins I intended to hammer into the beard. Before I could do that however, I had to fashion a sharp tool to make the holes the coins could be hammered into. Jon and Andy the wood-shop technicians fashioned me a sharp tool using staff only tools to penetrate the oak so I could hammer in with ease. Again, always using an off-cut to experiment on first so as to not damage the sculpture. The shot above right shows - the experiment was a success.. on to the hammering...

The above photo shows the positions of the coins I had hammered according to my design, and my reaction was that it looked far too sparsely coined. So...

On the hoof, I hammered in many more to give off the impression of a beard filled with coinage. I was pleased with result and took another emotional moment to inspect my finished project. When Jon came over to ask if I was happy with what I made, I said that I was and was happy with the aged look I had created, I then joked that it was a shame I couldn't rust the coins to add to this in time for the exhibition. With that, Jon took me to talk to another student working around the corner and showed me her work. She had created a copper plate and appeared to have written in aged copper on the back of it - when Jon asked how she achieved this, she said "Miracle-Gro".

She had plenty left over and offered me the use of it - and within minutes we were experimenting to paint two coats of Miracle-Gro to see if it would work on my first off-cut hammered 2p. She informed me that she left hers overnight to have an effect. Given that this was last thing on the Friday before the Bank Holiday weekend, I am still waiting to see if it worked. If it did, I will paint the 2ps embedded in my sculpture and leave them to work their magic. When I came home I still had a meagre amount of energy left in me to experiment with how I want the drapery on my plinth to look when it comes to exhibit.

Using an off-cut piece of linen I had at home, I experimented with how I wanted the fabric to hang from the plinth to make it look remotely like an early civilisations' shrine might look. I didn't want it to look as exuberant as modern altar cloth might look, so I have chosen linen as this would be a clean, readily available cloth in early civilisations. I was happy with the equal corners that the drapery from the above photo shows. I then went to go purchase a black linen in the correct measurements to fit the plinth I have ordered from the Falmouth stores. I want the sculpture to appear at eye height and having done the correct measurements, it should look exactly how I have planned. Here's on to the last working week of the IFY...

Steve scoffs, his large, bare feet by Eddie's hips as he sits under him at the trailer couch, "Yeah, yeah, you love my meals. I think you're just obsessed with some onion and garlic."

Eddie can feel himself readying to pounce like a cat that’s sighted its prey. “But Stevie, it’s what you do with it!” He shrieks, pushing up on the balls of his feet to lunge over and tackle Steve back into the cushions.

The book Steve had been holding goes flying to the floor with a thud and Steve lets out a big oof when Eddie knocks the breath out of him as he lands over his middle, he gleefully glares down at Steve, “Got you now!”

Steve breathlessly giggles as Eddie sticks his fingers into his sides and proceeds with the Munson Tickle Attack. Squirming under him, he bucks and Eddie nearly goes flying to the floor right after the book, but Steve hooks one leg behind him and flips him over to land heavily on his back.

Eddie grunts and immediately rolls, trying to squirm out from under Steve to take back the upper hand. He nearly succeeds, but Steve suddenly sits heavily on Eddie’s lap, pinning his wrists above his head and stretching his torso to force Eddie down with his weight.

“Got you,” Steve breathlessly says, chest heaving from his exertion. Their noses nearly brushing, Steve’s eyes are close and intently trained on Eddie, the longer strands of his hair fall around them, creating a curtain, narrowing the world down to just the two of them.

Eddie licks his lips; they feel full and wanting under his tongue. “What’re you going to do about it,” he challenges.

He can feel himself growing hard underneath the soft meat of Steve’s ass and he grinds up just a fraction. Enough to tell himself that it’s barely noticeable.

Steve’s eyes darken and his fingers tighten around Eddie’s wrists.

Eddie moans, eyes fluttering close.

He wants Steve to push down harder, to squeeze harder. Anything to help relieve this ache growing in him, the compounding pressure building, threatening to crack across his body, distort and shake his frame apart.

Steve must hear Wayne approaching the front door before Eddie because his eyes widen in alarm and he quickly sits up, hand moving in front of his body before he flies to the end of the couch, a magazine suddenly open and in his lap.

Eddie looks at him from the end of the couch, still splayed out and uncomprehending until he hears the key in the lock.

Steve looks over at his still stationary body and hisses his name.

ShitFuckDamn.

Eddie flees to the bathroom.

His back hitting the door behind him, Eddie tries to figure out what the fuck all that was. His thoughts however are reluctant to turn away from the memory of Steve’s eyes burning into his, to forget the enthralling weight of Steve forcing him down, making him submit under his hands and body.

Eddie bites against a moan and hurriedly unzips his jeans...

A Copper Age woman's skeleton found in Spain reveals a story of survival and medical marvel. She must have had a great prehistoric surgeon because she survived not one, but two surgeries to her skull!
