Hand carved walnut hanger

Making simple things beautiful ☀️

Someone recently started an argument in my comments about the way I work. How I’m faking what I’m doing and making up I make it by hand. Honestly would be so much quicker to work to make everything fully by machine!! I always find it funny how people can jump to conclusions from a short snapshot video of my day or my work. So here is me starting a project using a chisel. It will take me hours to complete but I don’t film everything - that would be really boring 😂😂😂

Depending on the time of year, sunlight bounces off the church windows opposite my studio in the afternoon. As the traffic moves on the busy road it glitters within the studio. It makes me forget I’m London. It’s really quite beautiful 🖤

Been making one of these a week since December, a little behind in posting them but making them purely for the process. They are a quick sketch hand carved out of wood. A few have been commissioned and live across the world - let me know if you have any space that needs filling! ☀️✌🏾
