For a couple of days I have been working on another chess piece the same size as the last ones. This time I plaited the wire and used much more of it. It took awhile to do but I have made a bishop. I haven't enough wire to make any more at the moment. I am thinking of covering it in tissue like I did with tiny versions I made before.
Today I made very simple silhouette style pieces from cardboard. I had intended to make two of each shape and slot them together but I didn't try that yet. I hadn't much cardboard with me so I have only made a pawn, castle, knight and bishop. I painted them black and made little stands for them. I am happy with them but I feel I could do more work with them. I would like to try to give them another dimension by slotting. The knight would be particularly challenging.
