Process of a sculpture: idea, sketching, armature, sculpting, sculpting, sculpting, silicone, mother mould, casting, finishing. Absolutely not as easy as 1, 2, 3, but here’s a photo to make it look like it is.

Watched this earlier in the week - such an understated gem. Very clever and unexpected and beautiful to look at. With Josh O’Connor and Alana Haim. Brilliant score by Rob Mazurek.

Further proof of the close link between mouldmaking and icing cakes - piping on the dividing seam. Second pic shows the dividing wall. Off to the shops to scout for dinner whilst this sets…

Who remembers the Hamlyn All Colour Cook Book?? Sadly, pretty much my mum’s staple cookbook for our entire childhood 😬 Found a copy at my friend’s house. Ah the culinary memories…
