display

here is a sneek peek of my playing around quickly with my presentation ideas. This work started out with the aim being to create three sets of differnt knives and forks (and maybe a spoon) and display them on three shelves in a manner representitive of the way cuttlery is left on the plate at the end of a meal (my family/in general). I had a few spare minutes this afternoon so i put my thoughts into practice. its all just play at the moment.








further works will be created with the leftover/broken pieces...not sure what they will be yet.

p.s sorry about the awful lighting in these pics!

knife, fork and decal

Well here is the batch number 2 of my cutlery. These pieces are currently being fired to 1200 degrees as we speak - their third and hopefully final firing. Its interesting to watch the trends that occur with the casting of these, and trying to use that knowledge to fix issues. Sometimes it is helpful, and sometimes its no good at all. There are still some problems im trying to resolve - i wonder if ill ever get there!

On a better note, ive finally been able to fire my decals onto my earrings, and here are the little lovelies :) i must admit im quite proud. Now i just need to order some sterling silver backs, get glueing and get selling!
