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.

Some process pictures from my casting experiments.

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.

Time at the bench today. I'm still enjoying castin

Time at the bench today. I'm still enjoying casting trying things out, pouring went wrong this time but I lucked out with the spru and was able to have a second go. I've got lots of bits at the 90% stage I really need to find the enthusiasm to finish, hallmark and photograph for the website but with low energy and no one specific I'm finishing them for it's nicer to play more with the few hours I get.

I love that weird curly tree, Eli called it a loop

I love that weird curly tree, Eli called it a loop da loop tree today, spot on.

A couple of photos from casting and the weird mist

A couple of photos from casting and the weird misty view from the window that day. It's been a rough week with constant tension headaches, probably not helped by hormones and every single bit of news I've managed not to avoid so looking back on the lovely is nice.

Only a week between and you can see them growing!

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.

I started this a long time ago playing with a design theme I do a lot of (copper wires soldered into holes drilled through silver)
