F. U. freezing temperatures........

So, as with many things in life... sometimes you take one step forward and 15 steps back. This has proved true with my concentration. I decided to be proactive and take my work home with me for the thanksgiving weekend (I predicted we wouldn't have school on tuesday). So i packed up all my stuff (My almost completed project, 1/2 bag of pendleton red, and 2 separate bags of scrap p-red) and put it in my car monday after school. I got home and rushed to work, forgetting what was in my car. The next day... woo! Snow day. I didn't go outside. Later that evening I remember something... "Oh em gee the clay is in my car!" So I rush outside to get it. Haha, its frozen. No worries, I'll just defrost it inside. BAD MOVE. As my clay defrosted, so did my project. Now all things clay are lumps of wet p-red. fml. It's all my fault and now we have school in 2 days and I have 0 projects.

concentrations..... part 2

So this week (and a little bit of last) I began working on my concnetration. My concentration is going to be forms inspired by the woman's body. I'm not into like sculpting all the parts and stuff, but I like the general shapes that they inspire. I have a picture of the first piece, and its going to be 2-2.5 feet tall. I'm VERY nervous to dive head first into my concentration, and I don't know why. Maybe I'm a commitment-phobe. Oh well, no going back now! I also have a kinda cool pic from the woodfire.

Wood Firing! And concentration..

So attached is a picture of the (finally) finished egghead!! I haven't decided if I want to put it in resin yet or not..... I guess I need to decide soon though haha. BUT I had a million ideas for concentrations and after discussing it with the class, and pondering it all weekend.... I finally decided on a concentration! Of course it's not one I thought of on my list, but nevertheless, I think it's great! I decided that I want to do forms inspired by the human body. I think it should be interesting to see what my hands can come up with. ALSO.. The woodfiring is this week! I'm really excited because I've never been to one before, and I can't wait to see how my stuff turns out.
