Time has got long legs and likes to do a lot of running

Time really doesnt wait, before you know it a couple of months have slipped by whilst intention seems to move very slowly indeed. So here's a few pieces and tinkerings I've been up to in between creating projects for my ceramics classes.

 

 

Sgraffito is easily one of my favorites theres something so satisfying about scratching through a semi soft layer of clay.

Have bought several belts all of which have broken from the folding and tightening my latest belt is well on its way to the same demise sooooo...

Whilst on the subject of time...Sometimes tiredness and talking conjure up some impressive possibilities, one of my favorite came to life recently whilst contemplating the time element of a particular collaboration, all of a sudden there it was "The Time Elephant" which without consent or introduction popped clean out of thin air, I thought i could ignore it but to my friend and fellow artist its sheer volume in the enclosed space was too much to ignore distracting us from the task at hand and all because of an accidental slip of the tongue! I must be more careful when i speak who knows what else is waiting for a chance to make an appearance!

Well irregular is not the word for my lack of posting but here is some of the work I've been tinkering with over the last month or two..... It has been a busy period setting up our Pop Up Shop but has been a fantastic opportunity for getting work out there.

Crochet Hats

I fancied having a go at crocheting recently, after a few try's and a good few hours later I had made something wearable! This one is I think the 3rd hat so far, now cant stop crocheting, gonna have a whole heap of hats soon, maybe will try making bobbles for the next ones, ooooh the colours!

Hands Hans Haaaanns

Some large (just in case were wondering) salad bowls, really loved working on the wider surfaces will do some more soon.

And this, an off shoot of a project I was teaching:

My pinhole camera

Had an awesome time being shown how to make a pin hole camera out of an empty film real and a matchbox then went out hunting for some shots, I love the really low techness of it makes it so much more exiting!! no batteries no lcd screen, just light a matchbox and film plus a little duck tape woooohooo and was so hyped and giggling when got them developed (easily pleased)
