Day 2 Toby

Today I've begun thinking about different types of coverings for Toby. Last tuesday Santiago and I spoke of different ways to keep Toby sustainable outside. This included covering him with metal sheets and painting the sheets the different colors. I wasn't exactly excited about the shiny smooth covering, but thought it was a start. I imaged this looking like a precious moments giraffe with its bubbly edges and soft face. I do NOT want to make a precious moments giraffe. I've been looking at different ways to cover metal structures and have stumbled upon a wide assortment of sculptures. I like the irregularity of the coverings and would like to combine their ideas into Toby. Here are some photos of what I'm talking about. The shape of the objects have been made by layered metals. This creates a texture among the forms that I especially adore. I was thinking something like the first photo, but on Toby.
