This blog post shows how my art related work can jump around. The three projects I was working on was a bench seat 'commissioned or whatever' by Graham; a post to hold a hose reel for a friend; and production of cement objects and letters for the 13 March open studio at Deckled Edge Press.
The bench is in the photo above - the cube below is a by-product from making the simple bench. The timbers in the top of the bench are 160mm square - took quite bit of cutting. The timber is milled from trees knocked down in a storm.
The plank for the friend was cut from a 2m long and 50mm thick slab of salvaged rose gum timber - cut with my battery operated saw. A meandering stream embellishment was routed into the timber and coloured with Japanese black ink to create a bit of interest.
Moulding cement bits was a production line.
Quite a bit achieved over the couple of days
love the cube with the routed scribbly-bark line!
ReplyDeletesome considerable flexing of muscles I'll warrant ... must've felt good to relax them with a spot of wine at the end of each good day's work
