Makin' & Creatin'

In Advanced Ceramics at Lake Tahoe Community College - The assignment was "off the pedestal"  I decided I wanted to try a wall-hanging piece.

The monster guy will be dangling from a bunch of light bulbs that mimic a bunch of balloons. The light bulbs were press molded and the monster was hand built.                                  

                   

                       

 

 

 

 

Finished and Photographed!

 

 

Here's some detail shots of the lightbulbs - Ooooo, that luster!

...And that lichen Cone 04 glaze on that monster body!

 

Named him, "Captive Thoughts"

 

 

 

 

the real cookie monster

 

Monster Vessel

 

He is a hollow vessel - His head comes off at the bow tie. I threw and manipulated two bowls and a cylinder for his body. I think he would be an awesome cookie jar...the real cookie monster

He's almost done!

    

 

 

Finally Finished and Photographed!

Low Fired to Cone 04

 

 

    

 

This photo shows his vessel components

 

I named him, "Celebrate The Oddities"
