So yeah about staying focused on my concentration....it's harder than I thought. I need to buy some clay before I can make anything else for my concentration. It's just really hard for me to stick to one thing...I like being more spontaneous in art so I guess I just need to pull myself in and focus so I can get my work done for the deadline. Anyway...as my random mind goes...here is a picture of a shell that I want to make a vase of. It's the twisty one in the center.

So last class I found out about the class stash of tea after four years of passing right by it!!! So I got super excited and made some tea (but it was a gross flavor) and I used one of Amy's cups. And that got me thinking that I need to make some mugs. So anyway I will be making some mugs in the next few days so that I can make more tea in class. I have also been getting really distracted from my concentration by random ideas like these, so all non concentration work will be done outside of class from now on. I guess I'm going to come in after school to do this other stuff.

I have been thinking about these pots from the artist that amy showed us a lot lately. I love the sharp lines that she has going across the middle of her pots. The question I have though is how do they not collapse? I really want to try making one in my spare time after school or something to understand the technique so that I can make some that are my own style with the same technique. It's really fascinating to see how other srtist do things. These are just great.
