Art Challenge XX

Wedged, wedged, wedged & wetted.
Then rolled some porcelain & whipped up 2 bowls + 2 tiles.
And found a bored engineer willing to build me a treehouse!

Artspiration Found on Nineteenth Day

The mold, the method... complete. Almost.
I can't wait for the next one.

Artful Challenge day eighteen

Carved window & door details onto TARDIS tile. Will paint "Keep Calm & _________" (something incredibly clever & Doctor worthy) on tile base. Washed out a bit, to seem weathered. Drilled two holes for hanging. Plans for many more.
Decided to use face vase as installation tile, carved channels for future adhesive.
Porcelain scraps smooshed & moistened for future wedging & rolling into new amazing tiles.

17 Artful Days

Day of dreams.
Of the continuing projects with my friends.
Of inspiring new muse on the horizon.
And the multitude of TARDIS I'm about to make.

15 Artful Days

Another day of painting, painting, and frustration. Lovely combination.
Painted Yellow Submarine tile & began painting Nowhere Man.
Building was a no go for me today. No go. Eh. I came home & napped. Now I'm  feeding myself curry chicken & naan.
A very good day indeed.

Artspired on the 14th Day

Pulled up, plugged in & painted for 4.5 hours!
Painted Big Blue Meanie & Labyrinth; glazed the rest of my painted pieces. Building a Lowfire kiln load for next Monday. The firing I requested, that easy!
Tomorrow's plan: begin coil building owl totems. Then porcelain class in afternoon. Possible chicken tile painting.

Art Challenge, 13 days on...

There's a part of my mind that wants every year to become a retelling of another, long ago year. I'd personally prefer to live each year as it's own shiny moment. Not an easy balance to find. And I'll not ever find it if I give up seeking it in new, active ways. Seeker I am. So today I kept my art in motion with the Sketchbook & a quick visit to the studio. Wedged my ½&½ clay - all 20 lbs, ready to sculpt! Two Yellow Submarine tiles are bisqued & ready for paint. Tonight's class needed the entire space & I am a bit of a spreader-outer. I came home to be kind to diana. And plan tomorrow's Art.

Twelve Days of Art

I did it! I put on my big girl skirt (one I made, of course) and hit the studio.
Sculpture clay was a 20lb cadbury egg: tough shell + goopy insides.  I set it out to dry up, then rolled out a slab.
Began an owl totem prototype, while everything set up.
Carved three circle tiles: carved an owl into one & traced Big Blue Meanie & Love Hand into the other two, respectively.
Blue shoes today, to bust my blues.

11th Challenging Day of Art

Today was tough, I wanted to sleep all day & could have, if not for my single minded determination to Do Something. Even in the midst of my own misery.
So I sat with Miss Faith today & we accomplished two completed projects: Harry Potter skirt & T-shirt scarf from unschooling conference shirts :)
