1. HISTORICAL EXAMPLE

For the historical example I chose woodcarving, because this is something I tried at a young age and I wanted to see how it would go now. I found these beautiful woodcarvings on Tumblr and was instantly hooked, the simplicity and the smoothness oboy.
Here is some research I did:

Here are the carvings I experimented with:

Got some tools from my mother and bought a hammer and clamps. This was not as easy as I though it would be. After a whole day carving my body was bruised and pained. But the thing was I kept on going, although it did not go according to what I had in mind. I am an impatient person and want things to be finished asap so this took to long in my eyes. It was addictive. MUST MAKE THIS WORK. It was frustrating. I am a perfectionist. It gives satisfaction to get a little bit further every carve. It was a thinkfree zone. I got obsessed, woodcarving is everywhere around us and now I notice everything.

COMPARITIVE EXAMPLE

NEW SKILL

Since woodcarving by hand is such a pain in the ass I decided to work with the wood turning table. This gives me the joy of woodcarving but doesn't wear my body out. Things are slightly different now:

It is addictive. I AM MAKING THIS WORK. It is slightly frustrating sometimes. I am a perfectionist, I can use that in my power to create the fluent lines. But also can put it aside when a chunk of wood breaks of, or if I carve to much. It gives ALOT satisfaction, it makes me feel proud of what I've made. Imadedis.jpg It is a thinkfree zone, I can let myself let lost with the wood and let it lead me to a new form. I get in a focus-zone. I still am obsessed, woodcarving is everywhere around me and now I notice everything. There is so much beauty in the wood and the prints in it.

I was to late for an open aanbod, but luckily the teacher was so sweet to give us a brief instruction. Beforehand we had to read the instructions:

1. Get a piece of wood (fine wood, dried wood, or fresh wood for extreme thin carving)
2. Cut it in a square form, if the diameter is under 45mm you don't have to make a pin.
