I'm not sure about the form still, since a lot of the materials and how i used them were new to me. I'm excited most by the energy the piece has, and the movement it has. I'm loving the colors but i wish i could get more neon flocking colors. i need to do an orange piece so i can use my melon flocking for sure. this piece is made up expanding foam, upholstered cardboard, porcelain, flocking, rhinestones, plastic diamonds, a fake pearl earring, and spray paint. many of the materials are found off the street and just added onto the form. i had a blast making it and i have a feeling its gonna lead to a lot more interesting mini landscapes and wandering dreams.

Also still making xmas gifts and etsy items. Things went really smooth and quick today. I made platters for the planters I made over the last few days and threw a handful of small bowls off the hump. Made a few larger bowls and dishes for fun too. Got all the my other stuff trimmed too. Its been a good day.<br /><br>(n_n)y<br />

Throw me a Bone

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 />

Fail pt.2

<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_FlSZPcW00kg/TM9yAmKb15I/AAAAAAAAAMI/kFyRtKkxbXQ/Fail%20pt.2_img_1.jpg"><img height="224px" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_FlSZPcW00kg/TM9yAmKb15I/AAAAAAAAAMI/kFyRtKkxbXQ/Fail%20pt.2_img_1.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left cursor: pointer;" width="400px" /></a><br><br>Tried again to make peice from my sketches... as I was working all was well and the parts were attaching well. As I tried to attach and throw a coil onto an area that was structurally weak it collapsed. Anywho I managed to save the bottom half and make a fun start shaped bottom for a peice I have yet to think out haha.  Hope this one goes well because I actually like this form,<br /><br>Im planning to rebuild those two peices sometime this week, so hopefully they'll go better this time around.<br />
