concentration work

i've been working on my concentration peices this week. since my concentration (dreams) is so open ended i've been having a blast from the past just sculpting things that have been in my dreams before. i've had this dream where i've been turning into a plant before and so i sculpted the legs and butt of a person, but made it into a pot where a plant can grow. i'm thinking maybe a fern or ivy? input pwease.

Naked Woman

The work on my naked woman is going well..I still have not fully decided on the design that will adorn the exterior but the building is getting somewhat close to done. I hope to finish building it by next week. The teapot and two cups I'm making I have fallen behind on. I still have not done the two cups, but the teapot is about ready for second firing. Hopefully I'll finish those today. If I'm not on before thursday, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Concentration

Since the human psyche is fascinating to me, i've decided to take on dreams as my concentration. Right now I'm sculpting a somewhat large piece of a woman. If all goes well it will be up to my thigh. I'm not sure if I'm going to write words all over it, or incorporate some candle or something all over it. So far, I'm just working on building the body.

teapot & other such shinnanigans.

i am still working on that teapot. it's harder for me because it's functional and i'm more into the sculpture work. soo.....yeah. i'm firing a pot that's covered with carved green leaves. i hope it turns out.

With my self-portrait out of the kiln, I've started staining my piece. My skin is a brown tone right now, I was trying to go for a mountainous look somewhat because I am trying to emulate a volcano look right now. I'm going to stain my hair and eyebrows a red, and then I''ll go over it with a shiny clear glaze to get a lava look. I'm also working on two other projects, one is of a melting naked female torso, headless and armless right now. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue working on it or not right now. It's really small right now, so if I did decide to continue working on it, I'd make it a bit bigger. The last project I'm working on presently is a teapot. I used coils to build the round, ovalish shape of the teapot's body. I'm planning on carving, or attaching leaves all around it, I have not completely thought out the whole design of the handle and the spout so we'll just see how that goes I suppose.

self-portrait

I'm starting on a self-portrait of just my head, somewhat following in the style of robert arneson. I'm about halfway through the head, just using coils. i'm hoping it turns out..
