You may wonder what above image is all about. This is a piece
of dayflower, more specifically, wondering Jew, as they
call them, I think.
I pulled out this particular piece as long as one month
ago, at the height of the summer heat. It has since been
left on the concrete. It is still green.
I am very much intrigued by it all. It may well be that
there is some secret here, which may one day revolutionalise
cometics industry...
Anyway, coating started, of the latest lot. These are
to be delivered soon.
This was the first time my coating tong was ever used in
practical application. I say it is bloody useful! No
need for two protective gloves!
I must admit that it will take some getting used to,
but it is there to be had and used! Am I not clever?!
I then sifted my attention to the portable boots
holder. I have 8 pieces of commercially available
starting material, as shown above.
Above is an interim stage with 16 pieces, i.e.,
cut into halves. Then, they are further cut into
halves, as shown below.
I will have to work on them tommorrow, but then
in the meantime I will have to make spacers, as
shown in this obscure image, below the bundles.
All I want is a diffrerent cloured spacer, and the dark
walnut will do just as nicely. What is shown below are
those pieces. You just cannot buy them, so you make them yourself!
At the moment I am toying with a new idea about actual
procedures of fabrication. There are subtle points
about this kind of tong family of works.
I will talk more about them from tommorrow on.
