My father
has a small wood atelier where he makes guitars, and wooden toys for his grandchildren, with my brother. I like this small creative space. Actually,
this is where I have spent my two week vacation this summer. Last year I showed
you my modest start as a wood carver. This year I just couldn’t get away from
carving. At first, I just wanted to make two baby spoons for my twin nieces who
just started to eat solid food. I thought I would need at least two weeks for
this project. Well, I did them in one night. Then I decided to do another spoon
for my son, then a butter knife and a spoon for my niece, some scoops for me, a
few more spoons… In the end, I had to use all the wood leftovers for some tiny
salt spoons.
I think
this is a beginning of a new addiction. Luckily I don’t have any carving tools
at home - otherwise I would have to close my ceramic studio.
