Runaway With The Spoons - So for anyone who was wondering why I posted a picture of broken Barbie dolls some time ago, this is why - I made spoons out of guilding metal and used the legs from one of the dolls to make handles for my spoons. I think these are pretty cool, as you can take the spoon parts out and swap them with something else, but I think they still have a creepy/ gross factor with them being doll legs. (I also went a bit crazy with the dodge tool in photoshop, thats why the legs appear a bit shimmery)

These are the side panels of the box, and as you can see, some of them don’t match up

These are some pictures of the veneered box I made for Wood Class. It looks okay from a distance, if you go a little closer you can see the gaps and slices in the veneer, but I think it’s okay for a first try at veneering.

Can’t wait till uni is over for the summer, my hands are in need of some serious TLC!! The skins all chapped, split, with scratches i don’t remember getting, turning up every other day, not to mention i sliced a chunk of skin off my finger today, and have a stylish white bandage now…..just thought i’d share my woes with everyone
