Techy Toast!


My work is inspired by the craft of baking, more specifically bread making . From my research I have found a variety of ways that I could use the material.




I'm really loving doing something a bit weird again. Quite a few of the people I have spoken to in the studio also seem excited about the prospect of breaking away from the design process we are used to. More than one have said that it reminds them of being back in first year again, where we didn't worry so much about what we were doing and just had silly creative fun. I hope that those of us who feel like that take
that feeling on into other projects. If were not having fun we may as well undertaken a puerly academic degree.

Luckily Karen had a soldering iron that she hadn't used since college in the DIY cupboard. I blew off the cobwebs and put it to good use creating this 'techy toast'. I took inspiration from pictures I found on the internet of Jesus's face in toast and others where people had drawn illustrations of cats into the toast. I am really pleased with variety of marks possible using this technique.
