I'm excited to see the improvements my next one might bring. I'm most likely putting costume making on hold to finish up the photo series for all of them(I have another 2 partially finished costumes, and 3 total photographs to shoot). I'm hoping to finish up this illustration soon so that I can create the backdrop for the photo for this costume. Here are some photos of the progress I've made thus far.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

Throwing Spree

<div><p>I had a pretty good throwing spree today. I went to the studio to teach the childrens saturday class and decided to stay to throw a little. I ended up throwing ten 1lb balls, seven 1.5lb balls, and three 2lb balls into some simple vessels... I'm excited to trim them and add embelishments. I'm hoping to be part of a woodfire in october so I'm preparing for that... If I keep this up I should have a pretty good variety of things to fire, and hopefully sell on etsy(seeing as my store is empty at the moment 'n' ). Sorry for the crappy picture, my phone has been acting up lately. I used Standards 257 porcelain for this group. I like 257 but I cant help but miss the Helios porcelain I used at MICA</p> <br/><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWq4v_oORlVzF4Kr5imZc2opavN2kdIQNlgxtrOA7zUJNuyZWO-PxYVi_noeKA8ahwyQl5D_1Ab6v8yVdHQ7NQM0JMT2aV-mQwYEUatnvOS_Kf3NDpD2NjouJFOrvjXBpaSd_hzLN9lDg/" /></div>

Cupcake Lovin

<div><p>I also took some time to make a bit more progress on the cupcake. I painted it in underglazes, and glazed certain parts, here it is before and after glazing. The white and pink area was glaze in a semi transparent pink gloss glaze, so the frosting will look extra delish. The eyes and parts of the mouth were glazed with a glossy clear, to give the eyes some sparkle.</p> <p>I still need to build and fire the hands, feet, eaten cupcake wrappers, and one baby cupcake. Super amped.</p> <br/><img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FlSZPcW00kg/TX2Zhq30LSI/AAAAAAAAAR8/aUNJyIUSwsI/2011-03-13_20-38-28_793.png" /><br/><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_FlSZPcW00kg/TX2ZielITcI/AAAAAAAAASA/qByayIe1Ryc/2011-03-13_23-14-24_29.png" /></div>

I've been working on throwing new forms and textures, looking for new ways to put things together, and take others apart. Im pretty excited to take these to the next level with glaze tests n such. Hope you all enjoy them (cuz they will probable be your xmas presents x_x)<br />
