Just a quick post today - the eroded wheel shapes for the Art-A-Day challenge are done. They are flat but I hung them on the wall to get a feel for how they look hung in a group. I might fire a couple of them again later to adjust the colors a bit, but for the most part they are ready to go into the kiln to bend into more fluid, 3-D shapes. When they are bent they will cast shadows on the wall and project light patterns through the holes. So exciting.
The last two days I've been doing the color firings on a set of ten oval shapes - I like to think of them as eroded shields. I'll post some images in the next couple days.
This challenge is turning out to be a lot of fun. Working in a more abstract way is really getting the creative juices flowing. I love every stage - the puddle-y blanks with their unpredictable hole patterns, the fluffy matte powder surfaces and the glossy fired finish.
