Desk #3

I just really like desks. I don't even know why. I like them in not miniature size too, but I really have fun making miniature desks.

I'm using balsa wood, which is very fragile, and I broke a bit off accidentally.

First reaction- Oh no I just ruined my wood! Second thought- This can easily be fixed.

I hot glued the wood back on, then sanded lightly.

Can you even tell that there's a flaw there? I can't.

While I was cutting wire for the support, I wasn't being the most careful with my fingers and snipped through a fair amount of my fingertip. I now have a healthy respect for my scissors, and have learned how to properly hold them. Always a good thing to learn.

I made a scene with the desk.

The lamp is new, too. I made it out of clay, a Q-tip, and metal buttons. I first sculpted the top, pressing the Q-tip into the clay to make a hole for it to fit after baking. While it was baking, I glued the beads together, putting the heaviest on the bottom. I twisted the Q-tip into shape, then glued everything down. Then I spray-painted it.
