Candle dispenser made from recycled hardwood and aluminium
Needed some kind of dispenser for tealights as part of my bedtime routine because I need my lavender essential oil before bed 😂
Made mostly from wood I found outside that I believe is a kind of mahogany and now on its 3rd life.
Could be a little easier to get the candles out but it works 😅

มุมมอง 6057 หลายเดือนก่อน
Queering The Lovespoon A new project by me, Mattie Griffiths, artist and maker. Between the 16th and 18th centuries the giving of love spoons (Llwyau caru) was a Welsh folk custom and courtship ritual. The earliest datable spoon is from 1667 but the custom is believed to have begun long before. Each spoon was unique to the carver and the recipient. They took many different forms, using a wide a...

Foam blue lips prop for drag queen Sister Sister Drag Race UK season 2
มุมมอง 6K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Sister Sisters been on the poppers and she needed a prop pair of lips to match her own. Weight was important to keep to a minimum so with an EVA foam base an aluminium mesh skeleton is constructed to spray foam over. Then carving, sanding and filling the structure followed by gesso and an airbrush paint job. Then doused in clear glossy lacquer for a gorgeous plump wet look! Had so much fun doin...
That’s a beautiful piece, and what a cool idea!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks! ☺
❤❤❤❤❤fascinating!
Hello, it turned out great. congratulations. One question: what type of foam is that?
what's the base made of
Super cool! What is the black bits?
che materiale è?
Fantastic work! Turned out great!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Ohmygoodness, those are so precious!!! I was not familiar with that tradition before! The installation looks amazing, beautiful work!!!
queering the lovespoon is the name of my queercore indie folk album
Beautiful work
Impressive! Is there a way to see photos of the individual spoons in detail? Do they pertain to real people, or were they inspired by your imagination? Throughout the video, l had an idea they might be commemorative, like the AIDS Quilt…which got me down the rabbit hole of the panels I worked on! (And the backer rod wig in the inset link at the end always reminds me of one that I made as a memorial to a friend!) Thank you !
Diolch/thanks! Yes I have taken pictures of all the individual spoons, I have posted them with small texts on my Instagram. The show has just started so over the coming days I will be updating my website with all the information of the project at this time. And to your question, I suppose yes and no. I have a decent size collection of vintage gay magazines so two of theme spoons were inspired by people and information in those magazines. But also some are just my imagining of people and stories with both welsh and queer themes. I agree they are commerative in a way, the aids quilt is another example of commemoration and craft coming together, I would be immensely pleased for my work to be shown along with pieces like that. 😊
WOW this is AMAZING!!! I wonder if it's possible to create a base of that spray foam and then glue hair on top of it? Or if it's just better in that scenario to invest in a hair cage? I have a wig that needs a crazy base (Fairy Godmother from Shrek 2) and this technique looks so good! Incredible work!
this is PERFECT for my velvet cosplay!!!!! thank you so much
Good luck!
What glue are you using to attach the insulation weathering tubing?
What is the black rope that you’re using here? I love it
First i was amazed, but then I was really blown away when you added the lip markings. Thats fucking DETAIL
Two years later but I'm so thankful for this video. The attention to detail on your work is insanely great. Greetings and blessings to everyone from Venezuela.
1:12 anyone know how I can get these foam tube strands from?
They are closed cell neoprene rod. usually builders merchants have it? i got mine on ebay. its expensive and heavy so not the best, but is nice and smooth.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gorgeous work.
Very Futurama robots looking, I love it!
AMAZING job!
Ismeiow corre aqui
Awesome! May I ask the cost of producing a wig like this?
wow! Very amazing!!♥♥
Ever notice how often gay boiz are really at the top of their class? Very often.
So cool ... great idea and technique
Don’t get made at me but it looks like the pull-apart twizzlers candy
Are you just using regular hot glue? And to you need a primer on the wig before you paint? It’s so cool
using a "cool melt" hot glue. regular hot glue is too hot for this stuff, it just melts.
Love the background music and love the work!
I just entered a very cool corner of the internet. What an amazing craftsperson, please keep up the posting!
Thisis fantastic! I love it & the colors!
Gorgeous ! Absolutely stunning !
The colours you used are so nice!
I can only imagine the INTENSE RELUEF of putting small surveying holes into that between the coils The heat in that must be horrific
juno birch would definitely wear this
Pretty incredible work... It gives me the distinct feeling of candy.
i saw this in the corner of my eye and just had to click on this, its so beautiful, you are very talented! the colors are so gorgeous, watching the process of videos like this are always so mesmerizing
Such craftsmanship and you didn't try it on!! Heresy!!
i'd like to see it on someone's head
the gag is something so polished was handmade
Dope ❤
It doesn't matters if someone do drag or not, this is a fucking good work! I really like it! 😃👍
I used to make art wigs for department store mannequins utilizing similar techniques. I never used pipe insulation, though. Great job
Beautiful!
Awesome! But I'd love ot see it on :)
Waaauuu
what kind of foam were you working with for this? it looks great
What was the black material that turned white? This is the coolest thing ever!!! ❤
