Last Saturday's wood carving class at tortoise




teacher Yo
he said, carve it with your heart not with your hands!!



yo' nice wood objects.











The tool I used and the wood I picked to carve. It's Manzanita. It's very hard to carve. I wish I had more knowledge about wood before I went to the class.





The final product. It's a spoon for lose tea leaves. (actually I felt that I need to work on this more!!)







We really enjoyed the class. CL and I decided to keep doing wood carving as a habit. We are going to look for the tools and the material to carve.

It was a best weekend!!

I want to do one Polaroid a day till the end of next week.
I really like my new sx-70 (a converted one which takes 600 films)! Yes, I'm crazy!! Got another Polaroid right before they decided to stop productions.

** sorry! It was scanned from a bad scanner!!

If you are living in LA you should check out the wood carving class in Tortoise. I tried to sign up for two years. It's too popular and hard to get in! Finally I did sign up the class this time, I am so so looking forward to the class.
