Nice video, thanks. I wonder if there are tiny spoon gouges out there? A rang of those would speed up the process for a design that contained multiple circles of different diameters.
Very helpful. I shied away from MDF bc I didn't think it would give me crisp lines. Clearly I was wrong. Beautiful work and thank you for the peek into your creative process.
Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful! Lower density mdf is no good for crisp lines, so you were partly right to avoid it. The higher density stuff is good for carving.
Wonderful artwork Jon. Thank you so much for sharing your skills and insight. Please, what is the matrix you are carving? Is is a ply or a composite wood structure? Thanks again for sharing your work.
Hey Jon, Plumsink here. WOW you look young in this video LOL! Very inspiring words at the end, you have to be willing to fail and to struggle and keep on anyway. Basically I think all successful artists have to have a fixed idea in their brains that they are artists and this is what they do and they are going to keep on doing it regardless of external circumstance. Because otherwise there are too many things that will tend to incline you to stop.
Love Your Music, dear Mari - also interesting to know more about the actual production / recording / editing - process. Please go on to do videos on this subject
Ooh, these look fantastic! This sounds like a really fun, satisfying practice! I really like that you took your time with it as well and didn't try to force yourself to keep it to ten days. I think it's more enjoyable, taking a bit more time with these exercises. Ten days just seems too short!
Thank you! It was very satisfying, and having a chance to reflect as I went and not be too stressed by the time limit was a big plus, though I'm sure there would have been other benefits from powering through in ten days.
Thanks Pree on the editing of the video, you did a great job! Again thanks Jon. Was stoked to finally get a show together for Lei Gallery. I always hate seeing/hearing myself but this seems somewhat cerebral and lucid!
