you can do something that's a bit easier, using thinner wire and making leaves out of beads. it's quite fun.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Start by messing around with wire and trying to make it look like the leaves. it's easy after that...

We in germany engineered pans with isolated handles so we can touch them at all times, makes it so much more handy.

He just sticks his fingers to the pan and lets the blood dry between them. Then he lifts it with that.
