a busy week

This past week I found myself pushing to complete several tasks...
The first involved finishing some of the most highly detailed work I have ever made...and a large majority of the work involved a process called stippling. Stippling is a technique that's used to create a pattern or texture by using dots, and in this case, it meant making like a million tiny little holes in the clay. I began with these small seedpods....

and continued the process by stippling the entirety of the inside of this bowl....

It was an incredible amount of work, but so rewarding to achieve this completely different texture and tone by making these tiny holes in the clay. I took these and other pieces to a studio here in LA to be fired; I'll have to post pictures when the pieces are complete!

The other major task of the week was to get some work ready to submit to a show here in California. The show called for limitations in size and material, so two of the pieces I submitted were quite smaller than the work I've made in the past few years, only a few inches tall instead of spanning several feet!
