Michaelwarming - I CREATE THINGS FOR A LIVING - Tumblr Blog
Might just make this into a series 😅
First time outside 🌻
While training her to not be afraid of all my woodworking noises, she found this super interesting wood shaving. And what better way to let her know all is good and safe than some playtime close to all the scary equipment 😊
In darkness we wait - we wait for all things bright; for life and light. We stand so anxious upon this ground; trembling - there is no light to be found. But rest assured, this is fate; all things will illuminate. And when that ray of light appear; there is no trace of this thing we call fear.
One thing that didn’t even cross my mind when I started my own small artisan business - where I handmake every creation from my little studio apartment - were all the different scents I would be living with! While working on this giga chessboard, the slightly peculiar smell of Ash dust has been my daily aromatherapy. In these two jars, I’ve purposely ”made” and collected dust from off-cuts of the same Walnut (dark) and Ash (light) that the chessboard is made from; to keep consistency in coloration. I use this dust (with fixatives) for minute corrections and other detailing. I feel there’s an analogy here… Life isn’t perfect, but it’s fixable. Mayhaps.
Enjoy some melancholic fingerpicking

I just finished up the most nerve-racking saw session of my career as an artisan! One single slip and 50+ hours of work + all this expensive hardwood would be in the bin. But I made it! So now I can breathe... This chessboard is not done yet, lots of finishing details still to come - but now you can get a feel for its majestic presence!
If your budget is too tight for my art & woodwork I have good news!
2023 I will be making some new lines of jewelry. Handmade, unique and affordable without compromising on quality.
Send this to someone sleepy 😴🤫
Currently working on a massive chessboard for an overseas client. Doing this project by hand is quite the feat I must say, and so much fun! It’s gonna be a super luxurious piece with the finest Walnut and Ash. I’m sure it will see some epic games through time too! (I’m pretty certain this client is a mafia boss, no joke, but don’t off me ok? 💀)
Here’s some wood-art for your faces!
3 handmade ornaments out of Cedarwood - now pimping up a Christmas tree somewhere out in Georgia/USA.
And here’s how I made them 👇🏼
Hours upon hours compressed into 5 minutes. Enjoy ✌🏼
How many reblogs can my artsy pancakes get?
I have so much art to get out of my soul now after my vacancy. I’m on a 14/7 grind, pushing hard to catch up.
Here’s what’s going on right now:
The annual Christmas ornament for a client in Georgia. I make a different project for her every winter, you can see them all on my YouTube (next video in that series is coming up in just 2 weeks btw).
A big super lux wooden chessboard for Mr.Kuniyuki.
A painting that came to me in a very profound dream.
Oh, I’m also recording a couple of short music video clips that will be up on my instagram soon.
I’m currently in some sort of weird ”overlap-period” with these projects, where I’m working on all of them at the same time - which is not my usual creative method. But it’s working out great and I’m doing real good catch-up on time. It’s quite an interesting (and hectic) period, but I love it with all my heart. Just as I do with all of you that make my calling, passion and livelihood a possibility ♥️
I miss the times when people on the internet were okay in the head.
