Ceramics 2 Day 13

 
 
 
 
The first image is a typical set of tools I use and a bowl of slip.
Second is my bisqued pieces lined up to be glazed.
Third one delicate cup with many different glazes.
Testing for the other delicate cups of the same style.
Last a teapot I've been working on, I made the top today.

Ceramics 2 Day 10

 
 
 
 
Here are some images of the teapots and cups I'm making.
Also a few more Mask Faces. I love making the little guys.
I'm creating a sizable army of small things.
The red is from a clay slip named "Lobster".
I used it to slip the Balconie White coils together.

KOBO E Reader

No photos of work I did today, expect tomorrow.

My sister has pre ordered a Kobo from Borders.
It's cheap, looks cool and does everything I need in an e reader.
I wonder why no one in the blogs I read mentions it?

Ceramics 2 Day 8

 
 
 
 
I'm making an Ocarina.
Some cool cups.
The last one is called Delicate or Princess cup.

Here are the two wheel thrown bowls I made,
then a shot of my dry pieces placed in the kiln,
then a close up of the owl cup I made Tuesday,
last a close up of a Luffy head I made for fun.

I'll post a video of me making a cup tomorrow.

Ceramics 2 Day 2

 
 
 
I made a coil cup, and a few small things today.
Now a three day weekend, cause we get Friday off.
By Monday everything will be dry and ready to fire.
On Monday I will throw two cylinders and
a third hand built cup.
Assignment is eight cups. Four functional.
Four sculptural. Three done already.
Dragon cup 1/4 sculptural.
Egret cup 1/4 functional.
Coil cup 2/4 functional.

The two cylinders I will throw Monday will be made
into an Owl cup (functional) and a Cat cup (sculptural).
The hand built one, I will think about before I sleep.

Ceramics 2 Day 1

 
 
 
 
Here are some works in progress from my Ceramics class.

 
A yellow rose from my Mom's rose garden.
The roses don't bloom very much, but they are very fragrant.
A yellow rose of Texas.

Bob Cat Cat

A cat in my neighborhood that I took a video of.

Dinosaur Toys

 
I like what I did with the poses of the dinosaurs.
Whenever I see toys lined up in rows all perfect,
I get the urge to set them up in action scenes.

 
A wasp that made a home near the garage.
Some inane poetry.

Yellow and red
Dad was buzzed
Soon to be dead
Bugs were fuzzed

Sad situation
that
Larva location

It's sad that wasps are one of the many bugs
I actively dislike.
They're pretty and sleek, but the stinger and threat
of pain cancels out those positives.

Beauty

 
A very cool wheel thrown bowl. I love how the glaze turned out.
