Making the final push of work to apply to Grad School with using my proposals for the residency in Seto. I'm trying to decide what kind of form to use to make the plates and tumblers. I want clean forms with sharp lines and smooth surfaces. I threw a few forms, and decided That I liked the foot of the tumbler, the way the rim of the plate comes in and frames the inside of the plate. I think I might implement the steep curved foot from the tumbler on the plate.<br />
<br />
Below are the original sketches. I'm imagining putting the drawing inside inside the plate so the ledge acts as a frame for it. The plate should be more of an object than a plate. The drawings on the tumbler, I'm imagining treating each plane as a separate panel for drawings.<br />

Walrus Orgasms & New Figure Work

<div>
I got walrus out of the kiln. He still needs eyeballs and such but I love the rough texture and color of his skin that came about by spraying layers of black and clear. It has the perfect damp sheen. I'm going to start building the base soon. I also finished up the hands and feet of the cupcake. I will post that image after they get glazed.<br />
On another note, I have begun work on a new figurative piece. Trying to sharpen up my sculpting skills haha. Made both hands and one foot. Im using bmix for its off white color, perfect for more of a skin-like tone. Im thinking I will build a wire armature body and sew an outfit for it. Similar to work I did ages ago in highschool. <br />
Here is the progress I made today. Sorry if images are the wrong direction. I will rotate them when I get to a computer.<br />
