You would think, with a shelf full of drying mugs, that I would be getting the hang of this thing.
Half the time I can’t center the clay, it just bangs my arms around until I muster all my strength to wrestle it still, and then it torques and smears everywhere.
Who is throwing who here, wheel?
When it does decide to center, the cups are whatever shape they want to be, I don’t have any control over it. Flat things are probably easy, I thought. I will make a plate.
I did not make a plate. I made a frisbee. It was not flat, but it flew anyway.
Cleaned up my mess and painted the cat, racing the setting sun in 45 minutes because I was too lazy to go find a lamp. I’m working out all the problems before ruining the official contest panel.
Problem 1: background needs to be dark enough to contrast the light on the nose.
Problem 2: paint with A LAMP.
I wish I had one of those thin slinky dogs with a face like a horse that went through a playdoh extruder. Or a really handsome goat.
I think your Jesus Cat is fabulous! Clearly he is getting a message form above, all golden and shiny. If your painting does not win then we will know that Satan had his finger on the scale.Your painting is most worthy!
ReplyDeleteYour Art is so good, I Love the Cat, I can Imagine it posing for you, because Cats are so Vain like that when they know they're the Center of Attention and the Universe is revolving around them! As for throwing Pottery, not figuratively but literally, that sounds therapeutic actually. Are you going to start a Mug Gift Shop in the near future? That's a lot of Mugs!
