Sample in progress blog post

Hi everyone,

Today I did the first test run of the performance with butter on my face. I tried two different types of butter products, a spread and sticks of butter. The spread did not get the melting effect I was looking for, but ended up making a really compelling image.

 Below was the aftermath of scrapping butter spread off of my face. Anna is great at capturing really great moments during my performances! And her sister Kayla was an incredible helper, she is holding the butter spread bucket.

Take two: with stick butter, which worked way better! It had more of a clumpy look, but I'm still happy with how the stills came out. It melted after about 5 minutes under the heat lamp.

Now I'm working on editing the video Anna and I shot. Yay! I'm pretty happy with the way this is working out!
