Today Was An Exercise In Good Intentions Gone Awry. I Tried To Get This One Done Early In Time To Catch
Today was an exercise in good intentions gone awry. I tried to get this one done early in time to catch the light, and in the process of transporting everything across the street I dropped my camera, my tools, the figure itself, and my palette (the latter of which shattered), and after all that I didn't even get the shot I wanted. Oh well.
I was going for "mermaid being blown out of her aquarium/bowl by a strong wind." What, you're saying that doesn't translate?

Look, if you want something every day, some of them are just going to suck.

vacation!
I went to London and New York to see some of my favorite people, but the figures will resume August 27!
Unless I'm jetlagged. August 28 for sure!
My first glazed piece! I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. No idea what I'm going to use it for, but at least I finally have something to show for myself. Today was my last class before the big trip, so I glazed everything else I've made up to this point so I can collect them all when I get home. Hooray!

Today, just a few miles down the street from my apartment in San Francisco, Judge Walker overturned Proposition 8. I'm a little teary-eyed thinking about how happy I am for all my friends here in California who will soon have the right to marry the people they love. So, because I was feeling all mushy and sentimental today, I made this little rose. (But I'm still me, so I photographed it like the cover of a trashy romance novel. Obviously.)
I know there's still a long road to travel until everyone in this country enjoys the same freedoms, but we got a little bit closer today. Feels pretty good.
