Floor is COVERED with wet pieces of paper from doing photo transfers.

So many things happening.

It is already mid-March, yikes! School is already winding down which means, duh duh duh, BFA review in less than a month! Projects in all of my classes are coming together and I am so excited!

We just finished a family-based project in Creative Inquiry, dealing with transfer methods using photocopies.  Pictures shall be up soon.  I suppose I am pleased with them.  Didn't really have any exceptional ideas for this, so it was a struggle to come up with something I liked.

All of my projects are fired in ceramics, yes!  My spoon and spoon rest (netsuki and container project) have gone through both a bisque and glaze fire.  I am pretty pleased with the outcome... the blue underglaze (which you shall see very soon!) is showing through the white slip which is frustrating because I was hoping for a very opaque, bright white.  However the geometric design juxtaposed with the smooth curves is one of my favorite parts.  I hope it isn't too bottom-heavy and will hold up when mounted on the wall. 

Lady Gaga bust is also underway, having just come out of a bisque fire two days ago.  Her antlers broke before firing which is upsetting, but I am hoping some Sculpey magic can fix that!  She is a little paler than I had hoped for— the peach underglaze and white terra sigillata were an experiment.  I absolutely cannot wait to bedazzle her sunglasses and attach the feathers to her hat. Fierce! (I felt silly just saying that.)

I am ahead of the curve on my paired container project and PUMPED.  I looooove the texture of the tree form I have made and the smooth yellow tones of the attached pinch pots.  Already putting on a glaze.  Very excited.

And not to bore you but our contemporary project is what is currently being worked on.  I will have another entry about this one, because my inspiration is just a whole other story.

Anyway, I think I will end it here.  BFA review in 22 days and 11 hours.  Cannot wait to work in Holly's studio tomorrow for some extra moolah, not to mention soak up every inch of that atmosphere!  Then celebrating St. Patty's Day with my friends. XOXO
