Painting got to second round of National Art Competition but that was it. Not to worry, two new competitions coming up in New Year. I have started making pieces for these and hopefully not too late.
I am having trouble getting movement into the ceramic pieces but am currently working on composit pieces of earthenware fired white stoneware painted with stains, underglazes and oxides - bit different to the usual stuff. Watch this space and I'll post a photo when I've got it together.
Sick of Siamese cats so no more of those! I am returning to the idea of 'animal totems' or at least the juxta positions of different creatures and I feel very motivated but what with horse, dog and cooking for 5, I am having a bit of trouble managing my time!
Sharon took some wonderful photos of some of my pieces and gave me ideas for the photographing of others. What a difference a photographers eye brings - the pictures taken in the local park are amazing, the unicorns look just as they are supposed too - just as though they are going to get up and walk away. I am delighted. What do you think?
