The weather was deceptive this past weekend.
It tricked me into thinking that the lovely Spring-like temperatures would continue into this week.
Nope, not at all. Not even slightly. I was freezing today. Silly ol' me!
A few alterations will have to be made before my 4:30pm class this evening.
High-waisted jeans, Savers//Oxfords, Goodwill//Floral Swimsuit, Savers// Cardigan, Savers//Beanie, Burlington Coat Factory |
My jeans are covered in sawdust and I probably reek of burnt wood.
And what do I have to show for it? A spatula. Yes, a spatula. I made it!
Actually, it's still a work in process...but I figured I'd show it off instead of changing out my jeans.
I decided not to get creative with the spatula's form, seeking to focus more on its embellishments.
I kind of wish I had decided to get creative with the form. I forget that I'm no good at drawing.
Anyways, I was inspired by a diamond Ikat design, which I then burned into the wood.
Next class, I'll probably paint it and try not to ruin the burnt aspect.
Oh hey, this spatula also doubles as a prop!
A prop for making funny faces.
Looking up towards the Spatula gods, hoping for a successful finished product!
Until next time, ♥.
