Yesterday I did some wood burning. This kit had been collecting dust for too many months. It was my first attempt and I think it came out ok but because it was painted after it was burned it took away from the burned effect. I couldn't leave it plain because I didn't like the untreated look of the wood around the design. Next time I think I will paint the wood then burn something into the surface.
I needed a brooch in the shape of a human heart for a photography project I'm doing this week, and decided to make it out of fimo. I used to make loads of fimo stuff when I was a kid, and taught some classes to kids a while back, but I haven't made anything in about 5 years. It was a mix of fun and frustrating, but came out as raw meaty looking as hoped.
