<br />
each facet of this has to be pieced together and joined by hand. when you hand build, each joint is always considered a weak point - a place for cracks to root and ruin everything. so I have no idea how this made it through firings without cracking apart. and since it didn't sell, I have happily brought it home. the problem is, I now feel compelled to baby it and won't leave it outside in freezing weather. (however, the fern I have planted in it is an outdoor fern and is suffering the consequences...)<br />
<br />
anyhoo... I love this piece. and to me, it represents where chris and I were in our heads when we left for sabbatical.<br />
<br />
approximately 20 inches across at well, any given point. it has sort of a rectangular footprint, but then again, not at all. it's about 7-8 inches tall (not counting the fern).<br />
eggshell wash glaze over iron oxide (to bring out the wood grain).<br />
handbuilt, signed and dated.<br />

<br />
wheel-thrown with hand-made rails. porcelain. clear glaze. <br />
the smallest is 5.25 inches in diameter x 3 inches high. the largest is about 6.5 inches wide. <br />
signed and dated may, 2012<br />
<br />
three of the set are still available, and one without rails:<br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666;">
</div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #339999;"><span style="color: #666666;">on the south island of new zealand, there is a place called moeraki, which is home to a crazy phenomenon called the "moeraki boulders." essentially they are a grouping of large boulders that have gradually been uncovered by erosion on the beach. perfectly spherical, perfectly natural, perfectly inexplicable and okay, one looked perfectly like the death star.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #339999;"><span style="color: #666666;">as we got closer to them, I began to get all pouty and disappointed that we drove so far and they weren't as big as I thought they would be, but then I got closer and felt like a total a-hole because holy crap these things are cool.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #339999;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #339999;"><span style="color: #666666;">so I made some.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #339999;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #f9cb9c; font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #339999;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: white;">mine are all hollow. and bottomless. I made them with the intention that they would be planters. if I had put on bottoms, then you'd never be able to get a plant back out once you planted it - if it grew at all, the root ball would be too big to fit back through the opening. so these are made like tissue box covers. just ceramic and round. and for plants. though I wouldn't be upset if you put them over tissues either.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #339999;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #339999;"><span style="color: #666666;">approx 10 inches wide x 4.5 inches tall. and the openings are about 2.25 inches in diameter.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #339999;"><span style="color: #666666;">signed and dated september, 2012.</span></span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #339999;"> </span></span><br />

<br />
now usually, this about design work. this time, though, it was pottery. I built a fun blockhead sheep and when I asked him his opinion about adding arms and legs to it, I thought he said no legs, but yes to arms. which is where I had been leaning. the legs were just awkward. the arms added something it needed. so I added arms.<br />
<br />
evidently I misunderstood. there was definitely a No Arms or Legs Club, president, chris thurman. so I made a second blockhead sheep with no arms. in the end, that was a very good thing because while transporting the "armed" (and then still wet clay) ewe, some idiot car stopped in front of me for no good reason in the middle of the intersection and I had to slam on my brakes, toppling the armed ewe to the floor of my vehicle.<br />
<br />
words were screamed.<br />
<br />
they were not nice words.<br />
<br />
after some major surgery, plenty of worry and weeks of trying to dry her slowly enough so she wouldn't crack more, the armed ewe was saved, but the cracks did end up showing when she was fired. (however, I kind of like the crack. it gives her some nice character.) the "unarmed" sheep (which I named "you" after chris) turned out lovely as well, in his perfectness. to be honest, I was sort of waiting to see which one would sell first in the show (just to satisfy my own totally competitive and WRONG curiosity of who was "right,") but much to my surprise, neither sold.<br />
<br />
so here they are, hand-built and lovingly sculpted out of stoneware. they each have iron oxide applied under the glaze to give them the contrast aging. I put white cloud glaze over eggshell wash to see if it might give it more texture (white cloud is a bumpy glaze when fired), but it didn't seem to do too much. regardless, I love them both. and I won't ask you which one you think is "right."<br />
<br />
"ewe" is 10.5 inches tall x 12.5 inches at her widest (across the ears). signed and dated, august, 2012<br />
"you" is slightly bigger: 11.5 inches tall x 13 inches at his widest. signed and dated, october, 2012.<br />

<br />
here's mine. now in order to make this, mom and I drew several versions on paper to figure out what would actually look like a sheep head. then I had to figure out how to build it in 3-D, so I started with a bristol board template, some tape and went from there. I think it took me a whole day. which makes me think I should have charged more for these, though they do tend to crack on the back, so maybe not. (if it sounds like I am speaking in multiples, it's because I am, and by the end of the show, had commissions to make 2 more!)<br />
<br />
hand built stoneware with palladium glaze, which was a gamble; i had never used it before. its got a cool metallic sheen to it. the whole piece is about 14-16 inches high. not small!<br />

<br />
this mobile is an ode to that time and the sheep mentality, which in this case, made life much more fun.<br />
<br />
the mobile attaches directly to the wall (thank you, jan, for figuring out how to make that work) and the parachutes are hand-made from porcelain. I glazed the tops of them in zinc-free clear glaze to make them shine a bit. the sheep were each molded from sculpey.<br />

<br />
I think the only things we did that I am missing are mountain biking, paragliding (which I will address in a post soon) and wine tasting by bike (perhaps the most dangerous thing we did).<br />
<br />
each design is hand-stenciled onto the plate with underglaze pencil. due to the nature of the pencils i have, I pretty much have to draw them on there, then paint over them using the glaze from pencil and a wet paintbrush. it's a labor-intensive process, but I quite like the result.<br />
<br />
handbuilt, september and october 2012. each plate is about 7" in diameter.<br />

<br />
regardless, I made a bunch of vases with facets cut out of them. while not strictly new zealand themed, I felt like this kind of symbolized us getting our heads out of the boxes they had been in before our trip.<br />
<br />
all the vases vary a little, and have the wood grain effect I am so fond of. the tricky part was letting myself just use whatever pieces worked when I built them, and not get hung up on what was wood grain and what wasn't. and then glazing: I made a rule that anything wood grain had to be white. so it was a bit of a puzzle to figureout what would work and what wouldn't.<br />
<br />
the last one I made was the big (purple) one, and it got more complicated than the rest... I might try to do something similar again someday with a different glaze; I had hoped the hot orchid glaze I used would turn out differently (it usually does)<br />
<br />
there were five in all. three sold (though I had a lot of people ask after the little yellow one). so the two left are the purple one and the pink one.<br />
<br />
handbuilt, august through october 2012. dimensions of the ones I still have available upon request.<br />

<br />
(also please note the awesome hanging display made by jan. give the guy a bunch of random wood pieces, and here's what you get...)<br />
<br />
hand-built drops in a multitude of colors, wooden embroidery hoop and thread. october 2012. I will be making more of these (as individual ornaments, and maybe a couple of mobiles in varying shapes and sizes) for my work sale next week. speak up if you'd like me to pull some out for you.<br />

<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;">see the nice angle bill cut out of
the top? it pretty much solved all the issues of the slumpy legs and
made it so we could get them flush with the top. and, it actually made
the top comfy to sit on, though it's no longer a viable option as a coffee table.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial;">strangely,
I don't have tons of detail photos of it finished. I think because it had to
sit on the floor, and well, people were all around it. but also, I still
own it (see also:<span style="background-color: white; color: #45818e;"> STILL AVAILABLE!</span>), so the need to get photos somehow seems
less pressing.</span><br />

<br />
this year, I enlisted a lot of help, mostly with naming the pieces (okay, and pricing. I hate pricing). thank you to heather and chris for that. and for looking over my show list and helping me figure out what goes in and what didn't. self-editing is hard!<br />
<br />
thank you to jenn and mom, for threading string on tiny pieces for mobiles. (why am I so obsessed with mobiles?)<br />
<br />
and thank you to kristin, jan and mom for hauling, installing and placing. and making sure I was fed.<br />
<br />
so, without further ado, meet the fern gullies. (named by pun-master heather and planted lovingly and fitted with wire by mom.) to be honest, I kept forgetting about these, because their placement was on a support post by themselves, a little separate from the rest of my stuff. thank goodness <i>other</i> people saw them! they both sold fairly quickly, but I would not have been upset to have kept them. they turned out even better than I imagined.<br />
<br />
these are both made of stoneware, and hand-built. this summer (july-ish, 2012). they are hung from gold wire and planted with ferns because yo, the theme was NEW ZEALAND. and ferns? they are EVERYWHERE there. hold still and they'll grow out of your nose.<br />

I think the first one shows it best.
<br />
<br />anyway, the big circle in the center is actually a piece of oak. yes, real wood. not that fake wood texture I'm addicted to. REAL WOOD. the oak has been stained dark, sliced to a very thin thinness, and cut exactly to fit in the hole, which I promise you, is not exactly perfect... I mean, is <span style="font-style: italic;">totally</span> perfect. this was a cinch. (special thanks here to michael berg, chris's college roomie, and </span><span style=" color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-family:arial;" >Master of </span><span style=" color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-family:arial;" >Wood. he's the lucky guy who got to help me with all the pieces on which I decided to experiment with the materials combo.)
<br />
<br />by the way, the diagonal lines in the wood aren't the grain. the grain runs up and down with the fake wood texture grain on the ceramic part. the diagonal lines are cellulite. okay, not true. it's caused by a twist in the wood and has a sort of shine to it. but that's kind of like stretch marks, right?
