- Ohh Blop Blop Over Coral Reef -

After two weeks of carve the swan, or to be precisely actually two of 8 hours class, we moved to our next product. Fish and Coral Reef. Because we already have the basic of carving. So, Sir Azrul just needed to showed the sketch of the fish and told us which one needed to cut or not. We get the same size of stryrofoam but this time we doing this in team because after carve it, we needed to layer it with butter and called it ButterScuplture.

Rough Sketch of The Fish

Then cut the unused stryrofoam..

Wrongly cut Coral Reef

I was to obsessed and then not realized that i was cut one of the coral reef, then to make up my mistake. From the behind, I carve another coral reef though it is blocked by the fish. But from behind it is looked like this... but after we shaped the fish fin and tail...

Sir Azrul said it was a good critical thinking of us after doing a mistake. We finish the carve of the fish in a day. And the next class we continue in layering our fish with butter. Butter we used is pastry butter because it soft and are not melting easily like normal butter we use in cooking. First, we cover the fish and everything with butter. Like this...

Plain coated butter

Then Sir Azrul showed us the technic how to make the fish scales..

small chunks of butter

Then one by one shape it on the fish body to make scales..

What to do next? Fill the fish body, Fins and tail with scales. Front to back and leave the coral reef with plain  coated butter.
