YES. DONE. It took me a day to make each head, but due to my busy schedule, this project has dragged out to over 4 months. Currently waiting on Nick's head (the darkest one) to bone dry. Thank God teachers get summer vacay (although no summer pay is another thing). Now I can finally focus on all the ideas that have been trying to claw their way to existence since last May.
I am currently making a series titled, "Potters", composed of the heads of all the potters that have made an impact in my life. I probably shouldn't mention this, but the size of each head is somewhat related to how much I have learned from each individual. Although teaching doesn't allow for much time to work on projects, I've managed to squeeze in time here and there with all the snow days and two-hour delays we've been having recently. Here's a sneak peek at what I've got so far.
When an idea comes, I grab the nearest writing utensil, usually my iPhone, and jot down the description. Then, I sketch a very stylized, borderline stick-figure version to remember the pose. It's not that I don't value a good drawing, but more that I work better from the mind and the more time spent sketching out my visualization, the longer the wait to start on the piece.
Mmmm power naps are the only thing that have been keeping me from dropping dead these past few days.
But now, onto more important news: Keita survived the bisque firing!! Here are some pics: |
