I'm enjoying leaving the base raw so that the clay is tactile and pleasant to touch but smooth.The current batch of small bowls (these average about two to three inches tall, 5 inches at the rim and 2 inches at the base) from my current practice; I have another ten of these due out of the kiln in the next two weeks and am aiming to make about twenty or twenty-five of them to give to friends and folks I'm getting to know. Next up should be practicing making handles for coffee cups, which I'm no good at. That'll be a good excuse to make more doofus-y cartoon cups and hopefully do a powerpuff gal for you as well EZ.

― 1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Thursday, 3 April 2014 18:36 (twelve years ago)
it's a little old octogenarian who lives on my floor and decorates the door of her apartment with an array of holiday and season-related flair. it's in regular rotation and always makes me smile. I was taking out my garbage when she poked her head out to add water to the plants that were part of that creche and i told her how much i liked her style. She's an ex nursery school teacher, still heavily made up with coiffed frost white hair even in a housecoat. Her door was open and the inside of her house was like a cake topping, everything was pink and spotless white. Super shag carpet and doilies and hummels and curio cabinets. She was like the kind witch from Hansel and Gretel only harmless. Love that lady.

I'm really glad (even if no one else is) that I've been posting work in this thread for so long. It's helpful to see work I've done from two years ago to compare growth and recognize my improvement... working in a studio alongside professional art and production potters can be pretty intimidating so i need occasional reminders that I've been getting better at this. Also I've given away about ninety percent of the work in this thread and it's nice to have some reference record.
