I've realized since starting work on my concentration that I incoroporate nature in the majority of my pieces so I'm now starting to intentionally incorporate nature as a part of my concentration.juliamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09830890133039064557noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035377134269729480.post-13216946185925830612010-02-04T09:09:00.000-08:002010-02-04T09:11:32.026-08:00New ArtThanks for all the suggestions last critique about what to add to my metal sculpture! I think I want to turn it into a lamp, or put the arrow through the head, or fit the ape head inside somehow. I am working on my mentally frayed piece and am pretty pleased with it so far.

It doesn't feel like it's done but i'm not sure what I should do next with it. Amy suggested putting a little religious figurine into the center on a board but I'm not so sure.<br />Any suggestions please?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAi7rqC7I-bAcJlBkX1aeJp7MuS8TDQz11VQX1O__GDO8BYjvnSemJf5n6cTcmVB9KQGEgl1Ox9pEpORGVDWM50tdtLRvV_OnwhF1sW3Rv0kSUyQZLqvcUqC_wZFwRKqFiEn3dVR3p4NaC/s1600-h/untitled.bmp"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 153px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429035218076301506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAi7rqC7I-bAcJlBkX1aeJp7MuS8TDQz11VQX1O__GDO8BYjvnSemJf5n6cTcmVB9KQGEgl1Ox9pEpORGVDWM50tdtLRvV_OnwhF1sW3Rv0kSUyQZLqvcUqC_wZFwRKqFiEn3dVR3p4NaC/s200/untitled.bmp" /></a>juliamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09830890133039064557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035377134269729480.post-28754397421700268842010-01-07T09:10:00.000-08:002010-01-07T09:13:25.859-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_zJahwxBALeC93GN7t8J_UaE8Efclr0RsNrJFzXoTVGTXo55Q356DF1TxKuckgNp9QMwx_B1lHfCm7rQkesYg4PJaXP76WHjudBkKpniIdYFqFNUY9U6qHzbIqFASTm7jP9zS2NSgOKFD/s1600-h/mail.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424046899090729442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_zJahwxBALeC93GN7t8J_UaE8Efclr0RsNrJFzXoTVGTXo55Q356DF1TxKuckgNp9QMwx_B1lHfCm7rQkesYg4PJaXP76WHjudBkKpniIdYFqFNUY9U6qHzbIqFASTm7jP9zS2NSgOKFD/s200/mail.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqxbdEoSN_HGt_THt0CRgG1yvFD0q174812ZD0BmymjDck6F0pFCZVFP3BO5qftHmv13Tw6gYd99vDC-0iMBTi6w2KYeNhS3jno7aj8fsZfuVDdkVjqnnCXzwHnoSiPbJzXnFaxmko-RMf/s1600-h/treeguy.jpg"></a>I got a silver key for my "hot-headed" self-portrait during the scholastic awards and an honorable mention for my stairway man.

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!juliamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09830890133039064557noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035377134269729480.post-27687124133061720262009-11-20T09:18:00.000-08:002009-11-20T09:20:59.173-08:00ConcentrationSince 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.juliamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09830890133039064557noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035377134269729480.post-33937074853677887672009-11-12T09:04:00.000-08:002009-11-12T09:05:43.428-08:00teapot & 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.juliamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09830890133039064557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035377134269729480.post-25710137305557775672009-10-25T09:29:00.000-07:002009-10-25T09:41:37.879-07:00<span style="font-family: georgia;">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. </span>juliamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09830890133039064557noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035377134269729480.post-44739896565356199672009-10-01T21:13:00.001-07:002009-10-01T21:14:03.263-07:00My A-Z pictures from the field trip mysteriously disappeared..so I posted some A-Z photos that I took outside from school.juliamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09830890133039064557noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035377134269729480.post-56784193914458643572009-09-22T12:20:00.000-07:002009-09-22T12:22:05.266-07:00self-portraitI'm starting on a self-portrait of just my head, somewhat following in the style of robert arneson.
