Here
is my first attempt at my Waffle Iron Type. It has actually worked out
better that I could have imagined. I used Sculpey (the white things) to
fill in and connect the gaps in the waffle squares. I had initial
concerns about the Sculpey burning, or sticking to the waffle batter, or
worse yet, sticking to the waffle iron and rendering it useless. None
of that happened. In fact the Sculpey hardened (as it does) and was
easily removable from the iron. Not only was it removable, but I am able
to reposition the pieces (sort of like a letter press) to make new
letterforms. As it turns out, the syrup is needed to create enough
contrast in the letterforms (see last photo). I have at least 18 more
letters to make and then photograph, but hey, it makes the house smell
good.
