HORAY MAGIC!

So a Magician came into the studio yesterday! She made one of my cups to leap off the shelf to the floor and she also taught five cups waiting to be trimmed and handled, to unwrap themselves so, they were waiting for me bone dry (how thoughtful)! In the past few days she magically levitated he sweater on a bone dry piece and broke a handle, made her little assistant appear sitting on a cup (AMAZING!)and flew a board into one of my spouts! If she performs ever again, I'm going to smash her face into the floor. TADDDAAAAA! I love magic!

geez

I have been thinking, no over analyzing, lots of things lately. I can't seem to let my brain have any down time. Even when I watch TV I am really not paying attention to it. I have been waking up through out the night lately; which is causing me to over think things even more, because I can't think rationally, it's quite the vicious little cycle. (hey there poor grammar!) One of said things I have been dwelling on is the fact that I hate disappointing people. I pretty much try to do and tell people what they want to hear or at least what I think they want to hear. I really can't stop. That's why I avoid sales people at all cost. When I can't read people, problems arise. That's what is happening when people want me to make decisions and can't. Another reason why bigger groups make me nervous, especially when the focus is on me. I think this may stem from my mother having a short temper and high anxiety, who knows though. Whatever the cause, it's starting to be (been) a problem. I keep taking on more and more responsibility at work and at with the internship. Oh well, that's how I function I guess. If that's my worst flaw ( I know it's not) I should count myself lucky. Well, sorry for the big ramble and fantastic grammar, but I feel and little better and hope you do too!

there's nothing like the taste of vomit in the back of your throat to wake you in the morning

So while in the shower this morning, where I do my best thinking, I got in a panic because I don't know what I am doing next year. I need to start figuring this out soon. I feel like I need panic to work. I try to not procrastinate, but sometimes, I think that's the only way I can function. Up until now I haven't had anything pressing me for time, now I have several. In a strange, uncomfortable way, I feel at home.

whats been going on lately

A deep freezer, which I understand just looks like a box, but that's what they look like. Maybe a Frigidaire decal would help?








Cake stands!! I am actually more excited about making cakes to put on them. I don't really like the form. I like the idea of making them multifunctional (the plates on top come off) I just don't know how to do that in a cohesive way yet.







Dumpster. This was the first thing I made. It's waiting to be fired. I gave it a rutile bath before putting a satin white glaze on.







Oil Drum. Most recent, as you can see. I like this one the most so far.
I am planning on putting upholstered interiors in the boxes. I am still unsure what they will contain in the end. I started doing these with the intention of pots going inside, but now I am not so sure they need that.
