Back in the workshop this week and have decided to do some major organisation sorting as I’ve not been utilising the space efficiently and can never find anything. Going to put more shelves up and have finally got round to re-doing the top of the bench I made for my wee table saw. All reclaimed wood from Freecycle and foraging so a little wonky but looks ok so far. More surface space and smoooove melamine salvaged from someone’s old kitchen cupboards. Mostly level!😂 Next step, creating a fence to gets them straight angles.🤪

It’s so lovely and reassuring to be appreciated. I’ve just finished a 3 week stint of art dept runner on a tv production. The team were so brilliant and I learned so much more about how all these things work. Mad and hectic but actually really enjoyed it. Great to be part of something. I must have done a good job as they gave me an absolutely delicious bottle of wine (cracked open already of course) and a wee box of fancy chocs. So lovely and unexpected. And even Stu in Standby props gave me a 10/10 - an accolade not given lightly apparently so I must have done all right! It makes such a difference when you work with good people, I know it’s not always the way but it’s good to cherish the times that it is. Here’s to good teams, good times and good wine!

During lockdown I may have been fairly industrious in my flat but it always means I start thinking about tools...I may have bought a few things... Today I received my new hot wire foam cutter made by a chap on eBay. Very neat and basic but will do the job nicely I think and very affordable. I’ve not been in my workshop the last week as I’ve had a job on that took me away and will last another 2 weeks so it will be some time before I can try out this new baby. Oh the possibilities!😲

Woohoo! First casting of Sir Didymus’ legs looks successful. A wee cheeky single pour and cut open silicone mould with good ol’ EasyFlo 60 cast, seemed to work out fine. The other SD parts have 2 part moulds so they will need to wait until tomorrow when the second parts are cured. Advantages and disadvantages of slow and fast cure silicones can be many but when all you got is time, no need to rush.

Today I finished making myself a bright orange bed head. I do like orange. I dyed the boring beige fabric I had and painted the also boring beige buttons I had with an acrylic paint and fabric medium mix to make it fabric friendly. It will be a nice sunny, comfy addition to my boudoir.

Work in progress but Sir Didymus is coming along nicely I think. Scroll to see progress. As part of celebrating the announcement of a sequel to my bestest favourite film ever, Labyrinth, (if you know me it’s likely I maaaaaay have mentioned this fact🤔), I’ve been continuing my tiny sculpting practice with sculpting tiny sculptures of the characters from said aforementioned film.
