2 Weeks left (I think...)

I've started producing super awesome "vessels" from my laser cut blanks, personally I don't like the word vessel or bowel because I really don't like making things that have a function, the word vessel implies that somebody is going to put something in it at some point in its life which I really don't want to happen. ( I have no idea why, I think its a mental problem)

No going back now, I really just want to keep them forever how they are.

In Progress, needed more work to 'dish' it up.

After whizzing a wire brush over it, took ages, there are sooo many nook's and cranny's on this thing.






PRIMER:  White makes the colours look brightest.

YELLOW COAT: yellow at the tips:3

YELLOW COAT: Included my hand.

ORANGE COAT: Looking more interesting.

PINK COAT: yay now it looks cool.

Un-branded can makes best prop.

Soo good.

After sanding escape paint and varnish :3

Looks awesome sauce.

Dishy

Dished a piece of plate, wanted to see how far I could take it before it began to split, this is as far as I got.



And then I painted it. I like to paint my work.Tho I think my choice of colour gradient makes it look a bit like a pimple...

They've arrived

My designs have finally been cut and sent from the laser cutter, YAY now I can finally get on and forge them, this is a massive weight off my shoulders as the time I had to forge them was getting smaller and smaller.

Foldy Squishy

Sorry I haven't updated my blog recently, sheep, snow and water leaks on top of my uni work took up all my time.  A few weeks ago I made this, I'm super happy with the center not so happy with the connections at ether end. The way it came out after painting makes it look edible.

 

My Cat, Mogs, Admiring my hard work.


Work in progress, 1 fold in half.

2 splat it.

3 Unfold.
