XMAS PEARBLOCK – Second Session (WIP)

pepe — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 20:19:26 +0000

Ok i’m late as usual

…so i’ve worked today on my small series of XMAS PEARBLOCKS.
I droped the arms because they where to small for my taste, i’m fine with
only the two wings on the back of the body.

All the pieces are now finished with semigloss varnish. Still have to
assemble them and have to find a nice giftpackage solution…no idea
about this, very simple i think. For iron branding it will be too late
…grrr no time. (and srry for the blurry mobilepics i’ll update you
with better pic’s of this series PEARBLOCKS when Christmas is over)

PEARBLOCK Branding – It’s getting hot in here!

I’m a huge fan of brass, it’s really easy to work with it and it’s perfect for my next small experiment: branding my wooden toy hordes!

I used the CNC milling cutter to get me some small brass stamps with my name engraved (first attempt was a miss, because i forgot to mirror inverted the letters…urgh ). With a soldering iron and some patience with the sightly goatish PEARBLOCK guys, i got the result I’m looking for!

Check also the pictures with the new fellow, i call him the PEAR DEER. I gave him a nice and shiny semi gloss finish, hope you like him…

I’m really having a rush with these wooden toys…it’s getting more and more like an addiction. Everyday coming home from work with a new tiny toy in my pockets. As you can see, my proto-PEARBLOCK has met some fellas to hang out at the woods

PEARBLOCK – Wooden Toy Concept by Pepe

The little Wodden PEARBLOCK is made out of pear and oak wood finished and coated with natural linseed oil

Today was fun, had to work during the morning at the model workshop. I was really bleary-eyed from last nights page template customizing, so on the side of lazy working i made me a quick wooden toy. Had no sketches for this little guy, it was just cutting and sanding into the blue. The design has only two joints for the arms, so it’s kind of simple and not rich detailed, just a rough protoype … kind of like him and want to define some details a bit more (proportions, face, painting) …and maybe i’ll try out some silly ideas (how about to drill him the whole head away… hey, just a thougt
