Some process pictures from my casting experiments. I forgot to get a photo of the first one with the spru attached but you can see what it was like from the second one. I used the saw and drill to make the bail.

Shopping this I realised how much I love play as part of a making process; I didn't want to just reproduce a shape entirely and I wondered if the copper would fuse. After the first go it didn't so I used a smaller one in the second just to make the indent and it fused this time 🤣. Now I'm playing at putting different dishes in the first one seeing how they look.

After 14 days in our house and garden it was so exciting to see some more nature. A little weight has lifted knowing we can get out and see the beauty now and then, pop to the shop occasionally. #selfisolation #spring #nature #sweepingawaythecobwebs #toddlersofinstagram

I've not had the energy or mental space to be creative in recent weeks but I have tried to stop to enjoy the gorgeous things around, especially those we planted in those early lock down days.

I am not a terribly serious person, this may well be coming across by now, I like to have a bit of fun while working.
