While the resin was drying, I made a simple restroom sign.
This is a 2.3mm steel letter.
It will be installed in the restroom of an imaginary store in my mind.

I plan to make a simple short making video.
I hope it will make more restrooms safe to use.🌈

When I came home after work, I forgot my house key

When I came home after work, I forgot my house key🔑 at the office and now I'm at a loss to enter my house….🏠🕴🚲

It's the beginning of summer in Tokyo, and today it's so hot that my black work clothes have turned white from the salt from my sweat, and I'm very tired. But I can't go into the house, so I decided to shoot the rest of this project.

The third milky white resin has finished curing, so I removed the mold.
The white pigment is burned oyster shells.
It represented the morning mist of the swamp and it turned out well.
Next up was polishing and making the base. Then I built a led light into the pedestal to complete the project.

Ah, Key…. 🍜🍺🛀💤….

Sixth day of drying swamp resin.
I took it out of the mold and exposed it to light.
Unfortunately, the swamp pigment didn't let the light through.
I decided to slice this as I write this now, since I'm working freestyle this time, without a set plan. I don't have a woodworking band saw, so I'm going to cut it now with a metal bandsaw.
I think I might end up spending the whole day doing this.
I'll cut slowly so as not to break the teeth. 🚶‍♂️

Swamp Pigments

I finally got around to starting a new project.
I'm still not sure what I'm going to make with it.
Maybe tomorrow this seal will be too loose and the resin liquid will leak out.
I pray and sleep.😴

In early June, I began the process of renewing my neglected website.
Owning one's own field is an asset, but
But in the age of social media, it is very difficult to operate simultaneously.
However, I could not abandon it.
At that time, I had no way of knowing that it was a gateway to the swamp.

I was stingy with my contract with the shopping site and started by creating that feature from scratch (about 50 to be exact).
In doing so, I melted the ice cream that is 'June', my birth month.
I couldn't touch the tools with my sweet, ice-cream-stained hands, and it took away my energy to create.
Sure enough, I sank into a deep bottomless swamp.

Even after those were completed, I found myself stuck in the swamp.
My weekday job involved a lot of glass wool and rock wool.
My body was itching and my mind and body were exhausted.

My feet were covered in sludge, and every time I struggled, my feet would get caught in the swamp.

I finally got out, but I was covered in mud.

After ice cream, mud was next.
The right material for my current situation was lying in front of me.
I took a shot of it with the camera I had.
By making something with it, I want to change my mud-stained clothes.

I wonder if releasing this will inject some gasoline into my body, start my engine, and I wonder if I can escape from the swamp.

I'll be careful not to bury myself in the soil this time, with the material that seems to return to the soil.

I created a folder called "Swamp" on my new hard drive.🏝

Day31→Meet of the month

This is where I came up with my month-long text.
It's the break area of my full time job.
I've used this past May to make a long, long introduction to myself.
Those of you who are participating, and those who are not.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post.

It is a pleasure to be able to write a text on a different topic every day.
Of course, after I posted, there were many things I wanted to revise, but in the end I'm glad I was able to complete it.

I'll re-edit what I wrote, andI think that I will try to place it in my website.

By participating in this mayformakers, I have made many friends I want to meet all over the world.
I pray that the world will soon be at peace, that restrictions on travel will be eased, and that one day we will be able to see each other.
In the meantime, I wish you all good health.
Thank you so much for the past month.

Much love to the Priscilla & Luke!!
