The first piece of jewellery I've ever made - unless you count those irie bead rings from 1993. Anyway, I cast two pewter paint tube pendants this week and I love them!  Although I'm not going to take up jewellery making full-time I'm going to be casting more of these and adding them to my store by the end of the week. Well, I am very easily distracted so I might well make more... I dunno. Watch out for the second one soon.  #pewter #handcraftedjewelry #wearableart #pewtercasting #jewellery #met End Of The Week, Easily Distracted, Beaded Rings, Jewellery Making, Instagram Pictures, Wearable Art, Handcrafted Jewelry

Studio Notes 30/05/20 - Casting an aluminium coin feels like a giant leap forward with the coin making project, and the start of more good work to come. But I have the same question as before - stick to pewter casting or switch over to aluminium?  Pewter is a more "appropriate" material for something reflecting the idea of value, as it's used more for jewellery and decorative pieces. Aluminium's cheap and common - yet there was a time that aluminium was incredibly rare and expensive. Pewter's mo Decorative Pieces, Pewter, Expensive, Aluminium, Switch, Common, Forward, Feels

Shoes on the sofa? My mother would go nuts. Don't worry though, they're brand new. Today I'm mostly going nuts trying and failing to get to grips with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects to produce the stop motion tests I did last night.

It's the insinuation of encroaching envelopment that gives the penumbra its sense of dread, in the grey area between one choice and another, where a step in one direction may lead us away from where we want to be.

Miniature painting is harder than it looks! I've got versions with hair but thought this one was the best attempt at painting so far.

The internet is awash with questions like, "can I do lino printing with oil paint?" and, "why not?", and all the bargaining in between, because to the uninitiated, all coloured pigments look as if they'll probably do the same things. Sorry, but no.

After a week of progress with designing a new, custom skeleton for an articulated figure, I realised that to get where I wanted to be by the end of the week, I needed to stop working with 3D software and start working with my hands. For that, I had to try sculpting polymer clay hair. #studionotes #polymerclay #miniatures #articulateddoll #stopmotion #articulatedtoyart #figures #actionfigures #figurephoto #figurephotography 3d Software, Skeleton
