Hi everyone! If you've been following my work for long you probably know that my mum, Jenny, usually writes posts while I follow along, but I wanted to switch things up and write one myself!
One of my favorite things about having an increasingly well-equipped studio is that often when there's a weirdly specific/difficult-to-find tool I want I can make it myself. And these are the most useful, and unexpectedly beautiful, example of that to date!
These are little colanders I made to pickle small components without needing to fish them out individually. The handle is just long enough to stick up out of the pickle, and they can stand on their own so they don't tip and send everything flying. 😅
The copper one was my prototype, but it started to contaminate my pickle so I made a second in silver. They're now something I use daily, and a happy little reminder that when I come up with something that would make my life easier I don't always have to jump to a tool catalog! 😉
