TODAY , we had our DnT lesson. We have to do the tray/bowl after we complete the drawing of the design of the tray/bowl. Luckily, i brought my apron, as ... those who didn't bring can't do the practical ! they have to draw ...

My acrylic is orange ! After darkening the lines of my design, i had to do some cuting, to know where my lines lie at. After that, i had to use the scroll saw to cut out the design. Jiamin helped me cut one side and i did the rest.

After that, i had to remove the rough or sharp edges before polishing. After polishing, there is not much time left ! So have to quicken my steps and i made my way to the oven and quickly have my safety precautions on and i put my acrylic in the oven for it to soften. After a few minutes, i took it out and made the shape of the tray/bowl. At the 1st two tries, i'm unhappy with my shape of it, so i placed it again in the oven for the 3rd time, and i made the shape of the tray/bowl & i am satisfied with it ! But while making the shape out, my fingers feel hot ! as the acrylic is hot, but i still have to complete the whole thing.


After some washing of my tray/bowl, i'm done ! And it looks like that :

It is actually the same tray/bowl. But it is shot at different angles.
