work in progress

Apart from my cafe, I rarely blog about my work in progress, because of one reason: it's so messy! XD

But I have no completed projects yet, they are all in pieces scattering all ver my room. :(

I made these animal (+ strawberry) tray for the last couple of days. The very first one was a BIG failure, since I drew straight on the wood itself and try to carve it out. They turned out very distorted and not to mention; dirty. =.=;

So I spent another day trying to draw it on illustrator, print, stick it on basswood, and carve it out slowly using exacto knife. They are not perfect, I already sand it down for what seems to be the thousand time and start to wonder if I should have carve a stone clay instead. I bet they are smoother. (hahaha, sorry for the rambling; I couldn't decide wether or not to buy the stone clay, I hope it's not expensive).

Or I might try to mold it anyway. (Yay, it's time to play with silicone pour! Finally!)

This strawberry shaped plate was made using sukerukun, it's not fully dry yet so I'm expecting more color change in few days. I also made sakura-shaped plate which is in darker pink color but forgot to take photo of them. =.=;

Hrm, I'm getting sleepy. XD I shall cut short my rambling.

The newer thing I made are bacon and breads below. The rest of them are my older stocks. The bacons are improved one from previous (which you can see at my flickr), but the breads still need more improvement in terms of the color.
