    1. Wonderful

    3. Love that it's a table lamp - actually works better and more useful.

    it's nice the way you distinguished your lamp from the iconic lamp by making a table lamp instead of a floor lamp.

    • @RaqrexArt

      I thought about that too! Since the leg didn't end up hollow it really made it challenging to make it an actual functioning lamp but we got there! haha Love the hand idea - I was also thinking of making some furniture that has "real" hands and feet...

    You will always have to wonder, are they complimenting your leg from 2022 or the light it brings to dark spaces. Glad you didn't let an imaginary deadline destroy your holiday time, no one deserves that - I think body molding will be interesting, it's a very different way to get to the same place as subtractive styles of art, and I think you'll have plenty of ideas spawn from this video. Thanks for sharing your work, as always!

    The lamp looks fantastic, I was wondering when you were gracing us with your presence again ( You were missed Raquel) love your videos!
    Regarding the shoe, most shoes have what is called a shank in the arch/heel area which adds support and reduces flex of the shoe in that area, it would appear this shoe had a steel shank, sometimes they are made of wood or plastic.
    I have to add, you have really gorgeous legs Raquel.

      Thank you so much!!! I’m so hopeful to have more time to create more content this year - changed up my work and living situation recently so that should help. And yes I’m familiar with shanks in boots but I was surprised to encounter such a powerful one in a cheap high heel 😆

    I’ve recently come back to a project that I previously abandoned because it didn’t go at all according to plan. Similar to casting with resin, I cast masks with latex and if the mould I use isn’t watertight then the latex will come pouring out of the bottom. Needless to say it’s quite stressful at times, so I can definitely empathise with you on this project!

    • @RaqrexArt
