This week was one of those that feels unproductive and somewhat pointless. Again I was not entirely idle but I didn’t feel as driven as normal. The tell tale sign of this when the small stuff starts to be annoying, the floor needs cleaning, the table is untidy etc., things that I don’t notice when I’m in the flow.

Sketchbook 1st May

I continued with the sketchbook work, looking for solutions to the 3d modelling conundrum which has occupied most of my thoughts in the last couple of weeks. I also started the next big drawing and worked on the ‘go,go,go,…’ sculpture.

Go, Go, Go, said the bird

Drawing in progress 01/05

The above were all made or modified at the start of the week.

At the end of the week I built a rig for slicing bottles for another piece I’m working on.

Dremel jig

This allows me to use my Dremel with a diamond blade to cut a mayonnaise jar, it’s a slow process by this method though it does the job and I don’t have the facilities to use the ice water method.
