camelphant.

finally cut myself from my shackles recently and dragged my pasty self to the workshop, with the intention of making something in a day, as after i would end up doing 13 lucky days straight of cheese on toast service. this took about ten hours from start to finish, admittedly i had done a bit of prep beforehand but on the day i probably did about 7 hours, given at the time i was unable to skate or do anything with much movement, and didnt really think putting myself into a drunken stupor for a whole day was very acceptable.

before carving.
 not sure on the idea behind this, i followed my my creative juices (winged it) and this is what turned out. i tried to work a bit more methodically this time however, taking more care to mark out and cut and drill etc, as shown in some of the pics below. pretty pleased with the final result to be fair, and it has fitted nicely next to a set of shelves in my room (amazingly, it is the exact same height as well.)

definately pissed off an enire village for a good few hours as i carved these bad boys.
 this project was fun, as yet again i got to do whatever the hell i wanted, and it's cool as i think after 3 items i actually have a style, kind of. next thing in the pipeline is for someone else though, and there are a few specifics, like certain heights, what they'd like to use it for and how it's going to fit in its surroundings. as with this post, i'll probably post up about it around a month after i've made it.



toodles,
