This piece bled into a second day. I might be breaking the rules to do this, but since I made them it’s… ok?
I’ve spent a lot of time in 3d modeling software, and generally I model additively. The same goes with the clay pieces and my drawings: always adding. For this piece, I wanted to try subtracting, so I started with a solid piece of clay and carved away.
Which brings me to today’s real topic: One of the biggest obstacles I’ve run into is knowing what tools to use. I’m currently running a pretty barebones operation. Most of my tools come from other hobbies (an x-acto from architecture school, a frankensteined wooden frame from my dad’s workshop, wire and a lazy susan from bonsai, a kitchen towel), so I often look around the apartment for solutions before I buy something. The spoon has been a perfect example of this. Now that I’ve used it a bit, I wish the edges were serrated like a grapefruit spoon. Eventually I’ll invest in a tool that carves better, but for now I like testing home-found versions to see whether it has lasting use for me.
