26 Artfilled Days

At the studio today:
Finished the black & white skirt and whipped up an apron.
I used Trish's fabric so this first one is hers. She was as happy to receive as I was to create: win/win

Artful February XXV

Sat down with Faith-the-Singer and, per usual, got much completed.
Dissembled & resembled the newly designed Harry Potter wrap skirt. Very happy with my improvements.
2nd skirt, different pattern, more goodwill fabric, needs hem + attached waistband = ready to wear.
Another date tomorrow to finish skirt & possibly work on T-shirt scarves before returning to clay!

24 Days

I showed up. Can't play if you're not on the field. Couldn't paint, combination wouldn't open the locker.
So I slab rolled & set up for tomorrow.
Here's another completed tile from yesterday

A challenge + Art

Few words, much love.
Made some, collected some from kiln.

Twenty Two!

Behold my bounty of creation:
*Medallions made from the molds I created, either pressed or carved. I plan to paint them and leave them around town as random acts of art.
*Wrap vase "Doug" from porcelain pressed into Mike's Douglas Fir bark mold. The inside bottom is textured, too!
*Three little birds tile. Owls from ring I purchased at Venice Beach.
*TARDIS press mold from my carved luminary.
*Mixed mason stains into porcelain! Also have purple & pink.

21st Day Artcomplishments

Tiles bisqued & ready for paint! Big Blue Meanie & Love Hand (2nd set) started. Owl eagerly awaits his turn.
Picked up pieces trusted to highfire: the porcelain wrap cup (blue flow) turned out beautifully - perfect bottom waxing; the porcelain bowl is a "fail, fix, fail, fun" piece. First, the super duper thin slab caught on the roller exit & accordioned in entirety. I then smoothed the slab back to flat & slumped it over a mold, folded it & prayed. Surprised to see it survive bisque, I wanted all the battle scars to remain visible! I dunked it in clear & prayed s'more. (Porcelain has strong memory, I feared it would re-accordion in the kiln) Today it emerged from the kiln - *glaze* FAIL. I tapped the sides & was rewarded worth the MOST beautiful tone! Because the glaze failed, it also failed to dampen the acoustic potential. I had no idea! It's like the sound of crystal!
Cannot wait for tomorrow's adventure.

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.
