The Positive of the Negative

The negative inside of moulds always fascinate me. A weird upside down world.

Always good to write notes to remind myself of future actions. There’s always a chance I’ll not pay attention but one can only try.

Casting

Casting this week! Not the employing an actor type but making the soft prop type. What’s it gonna be? Well, you’ll have to wait a year or so to find out. Currently waiting for last year’s productions to come out and even one from over two years ago! A lot of patience is required in this game, not only waiting for things to cure and dry but also waiting for productions to be broadcast (if they ever see the light of day) so I can show what I’ve been up to. Patience is a virtue!?? . #propmaking #props #filmandtv #mouldmaking #casting #silicone #rubber #resin #foam #patience #patienceisavirtue

Silly cone, silicon, silicone. All the silicone mould making this week. Satisfying to get right, expensive to get wrong.

Efalump

I made an efalump! Got a pattern online to have a mess about with leather. He’s made from the cover of my old armchair that I’ve had sitting in a box with all my fabric for at least five years. I knew there was a reason I kept it.? Some handstitched and some machined. Cut the pattern far too small which made it a bit more difficult and definitely not the neatest job but happy at my first go at leather sewing. I like him.

I made a pony!

I made myself a pony! A stitching pony that is. Wanted to have a go at some leather work and saw all the You Tubers had stitching ponys…or is it ponies??…anyway, I thought I could make one of those and indeed I did, out of scrap wood and hardware I happened to have. Always love it when I can cobble something together out out of scraps. So now onto some sewing! My first attempt was quite messy but I’m liking it. Quite meditative.

Paddington's Boots

13/4/2023

0 Comments

 
Another GMB prop, though this one didn’t get its day in the sun. A quick sculpt, mould and resin cast for Paddington’s welly boots. Scroll to see the red and yellow versions. Everything needed to be made in 5s for the judges and an extra one for luck. This was for the pre-dessert lollipop that would have been popped into the, to be trimmed, straw sticking out the top. Abi’s dishes sounded delicious but sadly the props aren’t edible!

Gone Bananas!

This one was a very quick but lovely wee job a few months ago from @farin.road for his stint on the BBC’s Great British Menu. Sadly Abi was knocked out the rounds but said he had a most marvellous time. First up is a Bananaman platter as a barbell weight that represents Bananaman’s strength. It got my wee laser engraver going full steam! I’ve got a couple more props I will post up in the coming days that didn’t make it onto the show. It was great working with Abi, he’s a fantastic creative. Check out his restaurant Farin Road in Edinburgh for fabulous pan African cuisine. . #making #propmaking #bananaman #GreatBritishmenu #abifarin #farinroad #laserengraving #banana #ericisbanaman #panafricancuisine #edinburghrestaurant #edinburgh
