Moving On

I just finished up my third black 8.5 by 11 inch sketchbooks. It's a funny thing. I have two pages that need to be finished up, but something in me is already to move on to the next one (that may be in part because my next one was started for a specific class last spring and i have already begun sketching in it... oopsie daisy)

I finished moving all my fall ceramics notes into a composition book, which is logical so I can keep all my ceramics notes and glaze shtuff together in one place.

This would probably signify my move to using composition books and my black sketchbooks. what can I say, I like uniformity and matching!

Art school is overwhelming sometimes, but it is Friday so the previous six days are weighing on my back, funny how that works. Just gotta keep going.

More New Work

I put up my newest self-portrait painting on my website. I hope to start a new painting on canvas soon!

Below are pictures of my latest finished creation. It's a vase for fun with imagery of my past and future. It is hawaiian red clay with a white engobe. It was then fired once (to what cone I do not know) and then i painted it with acrylic paint.

Guarded

I just finished building my first large clay piece ever, it is about 33 inches tall. It excites me that I built something so large and weird. I am looking forward to adding color and firing it. The craft of the piece doesn't please me perfectly, but it also works for the concept behind the piece, so I am letting it go for this piece, especially since I am just jumping into ceramics now.
