i love my seester-poster for my dads company :)

YAY!

I have made four vases and I am more than caught up! I am beginning to worry about painting on the vases, I am not sure how it will go, but I'm hoping for the best. I'm also excited for our christmas party and critique; the year is flying by. I am not excited at all for when Amy leaves, I have no idea what I will do when she's gone because I ask way too many questions.  I took pictures of two of my vases, my favorite is the larger one. I am getting tons faster and better at making coils; I'm not sure if I would like all of my vases to be built out of coils because I LOVE the idea of throwing, but I would need to practice a ton to do that.

im ahead :)))

Taking my project's home ended up not being the best idea. One vase almost snapped on my way home from school and the other fell on my way back. Now I have three vases done and another that I hope to have done by Friday! I've been stressing tons for no reason, but now I am feeling a lot better. I need to remember to take pictures of my work for my blog though because I hate just taking random pictures off of google. I've spent a lot of time at the pub. lib. and found another book on hand building, especially coiling and it has helped a lot. My coils have gotten better and I have become much more efficient with them, its cool to see my progress.

projects. projects. projects

I have one vase done..pretty much. Another I would LOVE to smash into bits and pieces and another that i am in the midst of building and looks like a huge bowl at the moment. I'm excited/ nervous to take my projects home over the weekend for the first, but i dont think i will break anything. Hopefully I will get all my projects done soon, everything is working out :)) ...i really love the form of this vase, its similar to my second, but much much much much much better, I think i will destroy what i made and shoot for this shape!

Coils....

 

I have one coil vase almost half way done and another I just started the other day. The clay has to stiffen before I can keep building so I started two at the same time and hopefully next week I will start my third vase. I have one coil vase done from last year that I plan to put in my Portfolio so my other three projects that are due (for me) by December 15ish will be two more coil vases and a breath piece.

greek vases

I've decided on my concentration..greek vases! the Greeks are notorious for their vases and there is a lot to know about them. In each vase I want show the history of the culture, but with a twist of modern time that also relates to myself. In greek vases there are events and scenes shown so i hope to do something about the same but my own events. I have a ton to do and im not that excited, but I love how everything is coming together.

concentrations!!!!

I'm feeling really good about my concentration ideas, but im still not too sure. I think im going to go with vases portraying cultures. I want to be able to throw and hand build. I also want to take some classes so i can make dresses and jewelry because im really interested in it but i dont have enough experience to make it a concentration. I do not want to do four projects in two months though, thats nuts i dont know what im going to to do!
