So, I was recently informed (and by "recently", I mean approximately 2 weeks ago) that my parents have been pretty awesome for a while now. Which is true. But it was meant as a subtle (sort of) hint and reminder that I haven't exactly updated my blog in a long time. So... here goes. I'm all rusty though. Might not have any witty remarks until next time.
I'm taking a ceramics class this semester (just for fun), and I'm enjoying it, though I'm definitely at the shallow end of the artistic talent pool in that class. There are a lot of amazingly creative people there, it's fun to see each other's work and style. We had our first assignment this week - we had to make a piece using coils (which is a fancy artist term for "rolled-out snakes"). Here is mine:
It's about 12 inches across. I suppose it will be good for holding fruit... or socks... or maybe a LOT of jelly beans! :) I took the picture with my phone, so it's not the best quality, but you can see what I made... you can also see a bit of Josh's castle and Maiko's sculpture.
