What's a Bonus Day?? Rik once again goes above and beyond to create and offer the best miniature class experience!!
Rik made himself available to any student who was not complete with their roomboxes (he happened to be in town
for an upcoming show). It was also a lifesaver, since I had missed so much class already. Today we're learning how to make glowing embers for a fireplace. Supplies pictured are a red straw, railroad ballast, silicon, plastic sheeting. Also needed will be a mini bulb, painted orange. |
|
First create a "T" with the straws to maximize air flow (for the heat the bulb will produce). |
|
A closer shot of the "T" - using a stick to create an artistic "blurp" of silicon. |
|
Little pieces of wood to look like logs, then sprinkle with the ballast. |
|
Paint the wood pieces to look burnt. |
