In my studio. My favorite tools and supplies part #1.

ITA Buon inizio di settimana amici! Oggi vi faccio curiosare un po’ tra i miei strumenti di lavoro. Ogni artigiano avrà senz’altro degli attrezzi a cui è particolarmente affezionato.  Che siano pennelli, scalpelli, uncinetti o forbici gli utensili da lavoro hanno un loro irresistibile fascino, e una loro storia. Ecco alcuni dei miei preferiti.

ENG Happy week friends! Today I’m going to let you snooping my tools. Any artisian and crafter has it’s own favorite tools. They can be brushes, chisels, knitting needles or scissors, anyone has an irresistible charm and it’'s own history. Here some of my favorite ones.

I PENNELLI- BRUSHES

ITA I pennelli sono i migliori amici di chiunque si occupi di pittura. Io ne acquisto un sacco perché li distruggo in continuazione. Li ho di tutti i tipi, ma i miei preferiti sono quelli minuscoli, adatti per dipingere i particolari. Le mie marche preferite sono Leonardo da Vinci e Royal & Langnickel.

ENG Brushes are best friends of any painter. I purchased a bunch of them, because I destroy  them often. I have any kind of brushes, but my favorites ones are the tiny, perfect to paint details. My favorite brands are Leonado da Vinci and Royal & Langnickel.


STRUMENTI PER MODELLARESCULPTING TOOLS

21 09 - 3

ITA Quando si modella un materiale morbido le mani sono fondamentali, ovviamente, ma gli utensili come bulini, pennelli di silicone ecc. non possono mancare per fare un buon lavoro. I cinque nella foto sono quelli che preferisco usare. Alcuni hanno qualche mese, altri mi accompagnano dal 2007, quando iniziai a lavorare il Fimo!

ENG When you are sculpting a soft material your hands are primary, obviously. But tools as burins, silicon brushes etc. are very important to make a good work! The five tools in the photo are the ones I love to use! Some of them are new, others are with me from 2007, when I started working Fimo!


FORMINE KEMPER- KEMPER CUTTERS

21 09-3

ITA Le adoro! Anche se negli ultimi tempi non le sto usando molto. Si tratta di formine per tagliare l’argilla polimerica, hanno una molla che permette di far facilmente uscire la porzione di argilla tagliata.

ENG These are so cute! Lately I’m not using them, but I love these shapers. Kemper cutters are used to cut out little shapes from the polymer clay, they have a spring that allow to push out the cutted clay.


ALU DECO TOOL DIP

21 09-5

21 09-6

ITA Questo prodotto è fantastico per chi lavora i fili metallici, soprattutto quando si tratta dell’argento 925, che è molto morbido. Si immergono le punte della pinza nel barattolo e si lascia asciugare per 2 ore, meglio ripetere due volte. Il prodotto che si deposita si trasforma in uno strato di gomma che impedisce alle pinze di rovinare il filo di metallo. Le punte torneranno come prima togliendo la gomma come una pellicola. Ingegnoso, no?

ENG This is amazing for people that work with wires, above all with sterling silver, that is soft. You need to dip the tips of the pliers into the jar and let it dry for 2 hours, to repeat twice would be better. The Tool Dip will turn into a rubber layer and it will not allow the plier to ruin the wire. You can easly clean the tips removing the rubber as pellicle. Clever, not?


GLITTERS

ITA Quanto mi piacciono! Quelli nella foto sono solo una parte di quelli che ho. Glitters grandi, minuscoli, in polvere, stelline, strass di tutte le forme…è una vera e propria collezione! Li uso per decorare i pezzi della collezione Joyful e anche per altri lavori.

ENG I love them! In the photo there is just a part of the glitters I have got. Big, tiny, powder, stars, rhinestoes of any shape…It’s a collection! I usethem to decorate piece sof the Joyful collection and for other works.
